Calypso Communications Chosen to Promote 2010 Urban Rappelling Fundraiser Xtreme Descent
Calypso Communications (www.calypsocom.com), a full-service strategic marketing, corporate communications, and business development consultancy, was recently selected by the Daniel Webster Council of the Boy Scouts of America to help coordinate, publicize, and promote the second annual Xtreme Descent, an exciting adventure-based fundraising event for New Hampshire scouting. Calypso will provide expert services including public and media relations, Web development and design, social media strategies, and creative consultation for the urban rappelling challenge. Last year Calypso helped Xtreme Descent raise $50,000 to support the Daniel Webster Council.
“With the success of Xtreme Descent in 2009, Calypso was the obvious choice to take this year’s event to the next level,” said Joe Wiltrout, Director of Finance Services for the Daniel Webster Council. “We look forward to continuing the collaboration now and in the future.”
Highly sought for its comprehensive knowledge and in-depth experience with organizations at all levels of development across numerous industries, Calypso’s tailored approach and boutique focus have made it the agency of choice for diverse non-profit organizations.
With goals to secure 100 participants and raise $100,000, 2010’s Xtreme Descent offers a new twist: participants will have the opportunity to rappel down the 24-story Brady Sullivan building, one of the state’s tallest, during the day or at night. A variety of family-friendly activities, including food and games, also will be available. The event will be held on September 24 and 25 in the Brady Sullivan Plaza at 1000 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire.
