Las Vegas, NV (UPrinting.com –25 April 2012) The Giving Back Fund, a UPrinting-sponsored 501 (c)3 non-profit recently concluded the 4^th Annual Sports and Entertainment Philanthropy Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Giving Back Fund (GBF) actively encourages celebrities and corporations to engage in charaity work as a means of sharing their successes.

The Summit is an intensive workshop for sports and entertainment philanthropy professionals with the latest information and educational tools about best practices in philanthropy and fundraising, with an emphasis on working with celebrities.

Stephanie Sandler, Senior Vice President for the Giving Back Fund says “The sponsorship from UCommunity enabled The Giving Back Fund to think outside the typical financial restraints we face in order to adequately advertise for our sponsors on site. Each sponsor conveyed enthusiasm for their involvement and most already expressed their desire to be involved again next year!”

On how The Giving Back Fund affects directly lives of those in need, GBF President Marc Pollick relates “Years ago, I organized a Christmas present giveaway for about 300 elementary school kids in the inner city for then-Boston Celtics captain Dee Brown. These were children who, were it not for Dee, would not have received anything for Christmas. I can attest to the fact that there is something holy and transformative about buying and then individually wrapping 300 gifts that mean the difference between kids having a Christmas or not having one.”

He continues “The look in their eyes as they paraded one by one onto the auditorium stage to receive their present from Dee dressed as Santa Claus brought tears to my eyes then and has never left me. I can only imagine how much it meant to Dee. For less than $5,000, he made 300 families happy that Christmas. How much better could you spend five grand?”

Stephanie expounds on UPrinting.com’s role “[the] breadth of options gave us new ideas for event signage and attendee materials. We were able to print a wide range of items that added a sense of branding and cohesion to the overall event as the design translated well between banners, poster signs, counter cards and table tents… The prices and turnaround time combined with UPrinting’s quality are unmatched.”

She continues “There is no doubt, proper signage and advertisement on site and in the printed materials helped secure their overall pleasure with the event as well as a sense of adequate return on investment. In addition, the ordering process through Anne with UCommunity could not have been simpler. She is a joy to work with!”
