And that's a wrap folks ! #CreateAthonWVU 2015! Was super successful and all teams had great presentations. Congratulations to the MARS team on winning #CreateAthonWVU 2015! Hope to see you all next year! And remember: don't ever try to hide your creativity - you never know how much you'll be helping somebody.

So hours after breakfast, the copy editors arrived to check out each teams progress and to help them review what promotional print materials they had created. Each team has now started to edit their final materials to present to their respective non-profits. We want to give a huge thank you to #BlackBearWVU for providing us with an amazing spread full of yummy food! Today has truly been an amazing experience. #CreateAthonWVU #WVU #ReedCollegeOfMedia #24Hours

CreateAthon@WVU Excitement!

The CreateAthon@WVU team is hard at work gearing up for our April 17th event! As a team, we are incredibly passionate about CreateAthon@WVU and have thus dedicated our final semester of college to planning, executing and evaluating the first CreateAthon event at WVU. Here are just a few of many reasons why we are each so excited to be a part of this event.

Makayla Lewis (Account Executive): “My favorite part of CreateAthon@WVU this far is seeing the excitement of people’s faces when they find out what exactly CreateAthon is and what a great opportunity it is for students, non-profits, mentors and donors!”

Samantha Gabage (Event Director): “I enjoy working on the CreateAthon@WVU event because helping local non-profit organizations is so rewarding.”

Adrianna Barbato (Co-Community Relations and Media Director): “My favorite part of CreateAthon@WVU thus far is getting to help out local non-profits with the hope that we are aiding in their growing awareness and sustainability.”

Abby Roberts (Co-Community Relations and Media Director): “I can’t wait to see how our first CreateAthon goes. All this hard work and preparing for this event will be worth it.”

Emily Scoular (Social Media Director): “The best thing about being a part of CreateAthon@WVU for me is knowing that we are completely in charge of making this first-time event at WVU a success. It can be a bit stressful knowing that we are the first team to ever put on a CreateAthon at WVU, but I know that it will be incredibly worth it in the end.”

Christopher Chow Joon Hsin (Creative Director): “It’s exhausting to go through restless nights developing creative and promotional materials for CreateAthon@WVU, but hard work does pay off at the end of the day. I’m already excited and looking forward to the day of the event on April 17th!”
