ScreenScape and Boating for the Cure Join Forces to Create Awareness to Raise Money for Breast and Prostate Cancer
Screenscape’s Venue Networking Platform Deployed at the Toronto International Boat Show to Promote Boating for the Cure Annual Event and to Support Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Prostate Cancer Canada
Toronto, ON and Charlottetown, PE (PRWEB) January 14, 2010
ScreenScape Networks Inc., and Boating for The Cure announced today that ScreenScape had donated an account on their powerful Venue Networking platform to help Boating for the Cure promote awareness for their annual boating event and to draw attention to their two worthy charitable causes. Boating for the Cure will be using ScreenScape during the International Boat Show to publish information about their annual event on a large display screen located in their booth. The ScreenScape powered display will communicate information on both prostrate and breast cancer, using a combination of rich video, audio, text and RSS feeds. It will also be used to share information on the fundraising event in Gravenhurst, ON on June 26th, and to acknowledge the involvement and participation of their corporate sponsors.
Bailie Ross, Executive Director for Boating for the Cure commented, “ScreenScape kindly agreed to provide us with free access to their Venue Networking service a few days before the boat show started. I was amazed to see how quickly and easily ScreenScape was able to help us produce a wide cross section of content. In less than a day they were able to prepare a rich combination of video, text and digital photographs highlighting key messages for our fund raising programs, our annual Boating for the Cure event and both breast and prostate cancer public awareness messages. This is a brilliant platform for getting your message out!”
ScreenScape’s Venue Networking platform is used around the globe by many commercial businesses, educational institutions, healthcare industries and government bodies to showcase, promote and cross promote products, services, events and community based messages on large display screens located within the respective member venues. The innovative platform developed on Web 2.0 and social media principles also enables members to share their promotional content or messages with any other venues that are members of the ScreenScape Community. At the click of a mouse, ScreenScape effectively enables these participating venues to extend their marketing, sales or public relations message to other venues within their regional community or around the globe.
Eric Snidal, President of Militia Marketing noted, “We have been working with ScreenScape for over a year helping venues throughout the GTA and Muskoka get operational on this powerful community based platform. ScreenScape is particularly well suited to assist any company or non-profit organization that is involved with a promotion or event to showcase their products, services, partners and corporate sponsors with a rich combination of new media. ScreenScape's unique ability to distribute their respective campaign or event messages to other venues within the community gives our clients access to venues and people that may be interested in supporting their event, promotion or campaign. This service is clearly changing the complexion of the digital signage and DOOH industry.”
Kevin Dwyer, President and CEO of ScreenScape added, “We are absolutely committed to supporting the important work of both regional and national not-for-profit organizations with our Venue Networking platform. ScreenScape is being used by many hospital foundations, community organizations and charitable foundations to help create awareness for their programs and to supplement their fund raising campaigns. Our ability, on a daily basis, to push their promotional message out to hundreds of targeted venues within our community extends their profile and visibility with thousands of people that they normally would not be able to reach. We look forward to supporting these important community and national based organizations by continuing to provide free access to the ScreenScape platform.”
