Phase II of UU National Marketing Launches
Imagine Unitarian Universalist advertisements in publications such as Newsweek and Rolling Stone. Imagine Unitarian Universalist TV commercials playing on programs like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show.
With your support, we will increase our impact on the nation geometrically by reaching out to new and larger audiences through a second phase of UU national marketing set to launch this fall.
And every cash dollar you contribute to national marketing by June 30, 2008 (up to $500,000) will be matched one to one by a generous donor’s matching challenge grant!
