Guest: Laura Saggese-Founder of Wrap for a Cause
Subject: Non Profit Mobile Program to Drive Awareness About the Dangers of Diabetes. Laura says a company can choose a charity of their choice or sponsor one of the many organizations that would like to participate, such as " A Moment of magic”, which helps students dress as Disney princesses and superheroes to visit children at local hospitals. The sponsorship is a monthly fee that is split between Wrap for a cause to cover the cost of the wrap, the charity and the college. As far as raising awareness about diabetes, Laura says they wrapped an Iona College vehicle for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in 2017, She says the success of the partnership exceeded all expectations. It created a great deal of buzz and attention and provided a great opportunity for the student body and recruit volunteers.
