Curley & Pynn Recognized with Silver
Create Award
Maitland, Fla. (October 3, 2008) – Curley & Pynn (C&P) received a Silver Create Award in the Advertising/Art Direction, Special Event Announcement category for a save-the-date card to promote the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) Champagne and Chocolate Casino Night event.
C&P provided pro bono public relations support for the Central Florida ADA’s signature fundraising event as well as imagery featured on the event save-the-date card, invitation, program, poster and magazine advertising. The award-winning design melds the elegant ambience of the event while incorporating a meaningful call to action.
“I am proud of the excellent creative work put forth for this project. Not only does it highlight the exceptional work of the agency but gains awareness for such a great event in our community,” says Roger Pynn, president and CEO of Curley & Pynn.
Held at the Orlando Grand Lakes Ritz Carlton in May 2008, the Champagne and Chocolate Casino Night brought together live and silent auctions, gaming with play scrip, live music and dancing to raise funds to support the ADA. More than 150,000 Central Floridians battle diabetes on a daily basis and all proceeds from the event directly support diabetes advocacy and research.
“Not only did Curley & Pynn’s strategy influence a successful event, but the award will gain even more awareness for the fight against diabetes. We are grateful for their dedication to this organization,” commented Delia Jervier, director of the Central Florida area ADA.
Winning pieces from the Create Awards are shown at a hands-on gallery in Orlando, Fla., at Create Chaos 2008, a “create-a-palooza” bringing together 10 shows under one roof for creative professionals in all industries including graphic design, advertising, photography, motion graphics, Web design and development, and more.
