Creativity Calls - MBD Answers!

4/26/2022

 
Picture
We love it when we get calls out of the blue from a company who needs help with creativity! It's what we do best! We met our new friends at DBC Irrigation in 2021 when everyone what facing similar pandemic problems with events. We created a HUGE backpack fundraiser for A Precious Child (501c3) that was an engaging team-building activity. And we helped to provide hundreds of students with backpacks for the 21-22 school year, while giving the DBC staff a unique team building activity!
DBC called again and asked us to create a unique Spring luncheon event that was FUN, CREATIVE, ENGAGING and would help they to raise money while employees have a great time.
We created a musically delightful and silly day at the Denver Museum of Art.
All smiles - all day --- and we were able to donate $20,000 to 3 local charities who are supporting the families affected by the Marshall Fire!
Colorado Pet Pantry + Sister Carmen Community Center + Future Arts Foundation of Colorado are the charities that received this incredible support!
Thank you to Dick Knapp Photography for capturing the fun, HOWE Eventful for the Music Trivia and the Denver Museum of Art for hosting us!

Colorado Safe Event for 3,000!

11/2/2021

 
Picture
​Halloween has come and gone and My Big Day Marketing & Events, along with Thompson Education Foundation are thrilled with the turnout of NoCo’s Greatest Drive Thru Trick-or-Treat Experience! This year it was held at the Thompson School District Building in their parking lot. With 40 staff and volunteers and many amazing sponsors and booth vendors, 3,000 attendees were able to enjoy driving through the most festive parking lot this season!  
Picture
Picture
​Tickets were up for grabs for less than a week before selling out. Having tickets booked in advance ensured a safe event and that every kid would get candy, as the booth vendors knew how much to bring in advance. Parents and kids from all over Northern Colorado drove to the venue in full costume and stayed comfortably in their vehicles for the entire duration of the event keeping it a socially distanced and safe time for everyone involved.  
Picture
Picture
​A bright colored numbered paper was placed on the windshield of each car letting booth vendors know how many kids were trick-or-treating from that vehicle. TEF provided bags to hang on the mirrors on each side of the vehicle to help keep up the flow of the event. Some came in small cars with one or two children but others found it best to bring large vans packed full of trick- or-treaters.
Smiling parents, kids, volunteers, and booth vendors was one of the many highlights of this event. The sun was out and smiling with everyone as they all celebrated the community and had fun dressing up and snacking on sweets! We were so fortunate to have fantastic Fall weather!
Picture
​A HUGE thank you to all of the wonderful sponsors and booth vendors! This could not have happened this without your generosity and holiday spirit!

Thank you also to Thompson School District, Loveland Barricade and Golf-N-Fun Carts for helping provide a venue and all the necessary means that it takes to get hundreds of vehicles safely through!

Safe Halloween Event - How Did It Come To Be?

10/16/2021

 
- by Tiffany Dinsmore

​With another year ending, the fall and winter festivities are beginning! As always Halloween is kicking off our holiday season! Although there are a lot more events being held this year people are still being cautious and most events are being held outside. Christine Forster with My Big Day Events and Marketing along with Thompson Education Foundation created a way to celebrate Halloween in a safe and easy way with NoCo’s Greatest Drive Thru Trick-or-Treat Experience. It was a huge success for 2020 and they are hoping for another successful event at the end of the October!
Picture
​I have asked Christine to answer a series of questions to help give some insight on the second year of this event!
 
How long have you been working with TEF?
MBD has been working with Thompson Education Foundation for a couple years now. Although Christine and Kim go way back.
​"We met 17 years ago volunteering for the Downtown Loveland Association."
 
What was your creative process when creating the Drive Thru Trick-or-Treat Event last year?
"The idea came about quickly and naturally, but when developing the concept, it was crucial to us that we evaluate who all may benefit from partnering with an event such as this, where might the drive-thru traffic be most appreciated, etc. We reached out to other entities to inform them of our concept and to invite others to join in to give families a safe Halloween."
Picture
The event must have been a success to do it again this year, what are the fundraising goals for 2021?
"When we initially created this, we didn't have a fundraising goal. We wanted to cover expenses of course - but a safe trick-or-treating option for local families was our biggest goal. We were thrilled by the number of sponsors who supported the event last year and have already seen great response this year!"
 
Is there a particular moment or memory from 2020’s event that stands out to you?
"Being on the back end of management for the event, watching hundreds of tickets get snagged up in minutes was a real Ticketmaster moment.  To know that we had 3,000 people attend the event and thousands more on the waiting list is our top memory for 2020."
Picture
Where is the event located this year and how will it be different from the 2020 event?
"This year we are taking advantage of the generous access we have to the Thompson School District Administration building. This allows for plenty of space for booths, vendor parking, volunteer parking, regulated entrance/exit flow, and indoor facilities for our staff and volunteers.
The event itself will be the same, with the exception of limitations by county and state. Last year we were limited to the number of people we could have 'gather' at an outdoor event, so our booths could only host 2 workers, and we had to limit volunteers and number of cars in attendance by timed interval."
 
What is the biggest challenge that you are facing with putting this event together?
"As with any outdoor event, one challenge can be weather. There is always a chance for snow at the end of October. This event will happen rain, shine, or snow. It will only cancel should there be an absolute blizzard.
​Also, as with any event right now, we are still dealing with a global pandemic. MBD has planned enough events during the pandemic to have plans and processes in place to offer guests, staff and volunteers a safe experience!"


Picture
​The drive-thru trick-or-treat experience is just $5 per vehicle (no campers or busses).
All guests will sign up for a 30 min window of time to arrive. All tickets will need to be purchased online in advance.

Booths are available for businesses, non-profits and schools (and each booth comes with 1 free guaranteed entrance to the event).
 
Thank you Christine for inventing such a unique Halloween experience!

Staying Safe This Fall, While Still Having Fun!

9/14/2021

 
The MBD Marketing & Events team supports a number of non-profits across the front range who serve families and children. Knowing that Halloween is just around the corner, and COVID is still here at full strength, we are getting tons of questions around event safety.

While we are event experts, we are not the CDC. We follow our county, state and government recommendations closely so that we can help our clients make educated decisions.

If you are wondering what you can do to safely enjoy Fall Festivities, this blog is for you!
Picture
​Summer is almost over and with the Fall season right around the corner it is not too soon to start thinking about Halloween. In 2020 our entire world was rocked by the pandemic with most of our favorite events and activities canceled or closed. So for 2021 we are wondering, will we be able to check everything off our Autumn Bucket List in a way that is safe?

1. Outdoor Gatherings are the Safest
We have all been told that being outdoors is the best way to be in larger groups of people. If we can keep our distance and we are outside, we do not even need to wear masks! According to an article from USA Today, experts said “that activities such as visiting a pumpkin patch, going apple picking and other outdoor events generally pose a lower risk for you and your family.”[1]
Thank goodness for the AMAZING Fall weather we have in Colorado! Tons of outdoor time is possible here.

Picture
2.  Halloween Themed Masks are Fun and Safe!

​
Wearing a mask on or around Halloween has been a popular thing to do long before COVID entered our lives. Luckily now your fun or spooky Halloween mask. Can also help protect you and others at Halloween events and parties! Prevention.com informs us that, “Halloween costumes actually originated from the ancient Celtic tradition of dressing up to ward off wandering spirits on October 31—so this might be the only year when doctors and druids alike agree ​that your costume is necessary to keep you safe.”[2]

[2] https://www.prevention.com/health/g33584965/halloween-face-masks-covid-coronavirus/
Picture
3. Vaccinations 
We' are all aware of the available vaccine. And soon it could be available for children. According to a Forbes article “Vaccines for children ages 5 to 11 could potentially come as soon as October under a “best case scenario,” Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) chief who serves on Pfizer’s board.”[3]

Picture
4. Find Alternative Ways to Stay Festive

From Halloween movie marathons to decorating the house as spooky as you’d like, you can get creative with how you celebrate Fall and Halloween festivities. A fun way to celebrate with your neighbors and friends from a distance is “Boo-ing” them! Click here on more information on how to “BOO!” https://indywithkids.com/how-to-boo/[4]

[4] https://indywithkids.com/how-to-boo/
Picture
5. Attend Noco’s Drive Thru Trick-or-Treat

A socially distanced Halloween for families, with something for everyone. Picture a reverse parade! Kids can trick-or-treat safely from their car window. Families will slowly drive through a long series of Halloween scenes decorated by local businesses, schools and nonprofits. COVID safety measures will be in place. Last year this event sold out in just 5 minutes, so we recommend you follow the TEF FB event page to learn about ticket sale date/time.
*This is a fundraiser for Thompson Education Foundation.

The Global Pandemic and Education

5/13/2021

 
A number of MBD Marketing & Events' clients are those that work with children and/or education. The global pandemic has had a significant impact on students and educators in the past year... and their families. Thompson Education Foundation is one of these clients.
Picture
​School is almost out for the summer! It was not an easy school year for anyone, from going to full time remote learning to a blended learning and in some districts even back to full time in person (with limitations of how many students could gather and the mandatory wearing of masks). Teachers, parents, students and school staff members all had to learn how to adapt and succeed through a school year full of random and sudden changes. 
Picture

Looking back on the 2020-2021 school year has brought up some questions and concerns. How did the pandemic effect students and their families?

​ Are students thriving or suffering from the remote learning and blended school experiences? And what did our wonderful Thompson Education Foundation do to help out these students and families during all of these uncertain times?
 
Students’ education has taken a pretty serious hit since the pandemic began. The sudden change in the learning environment and materials has really thrown a curve ball at our students who are so used to school being in person with their teacher and peers.

​According to the University of Colorado, 58.2% of students felt as though the pandemic negatively impacted their learning environment and 76.8% of students felt like finding motivation to complete assignments was harder at home.[1] Switching to a different style of learning was not an easy process and many students struggled to adapt to these changes.
​

[1] https://www.colorado.edu/artssciences-advising/2020/05/01/how-remote-learning-has-affected-students-learning-environment-and-motivation-levels
 
On a happier note some students have found that remote learning is right up their alley! The Denver Post interviewed a student from West Early College in Denver and she has noticed a change in her younger sibling “All the sudden she’s an independent learner and she’s taken charge of her education in a new way that wasn’t possible under the old regime,” St. Marie said.[1]

Remote learning has given students the opportunity to do their school work on their own schedule giving a lot of freedom to them. Edutopia interviewed at student who stated, “The reason I enjoy online learning is because of the opportunity to structure my day efficiently,” wrote a 10th grade student in English teacher Katie Burrows-Stone’s class survey. “I am able to workout, relax, and complete the work in a timely manner, with no distractions.”[2]
 
“Thompson Education Foundation (TEF) and the Literacy Committee of Loveland Rotary Club each committed $10,000 ($20,000 total) to support remote learning for students. The first acquisition was 5,000 books for students who were participating in TSD’s emergency food distribution program. The books were purchased for all grade levels, PreK-12 and were available to students. In addition, Thompson Education Foundation supplied 500 school supply kits to supplement at-home learning for elementary and secondary students without access to supply resources at home. Since forming in 1989, Thompson Education Foundation has been contributing to ensure student opportunities and success for Thompson School District students.”[3]

Picture
​Overall, everyone experienced their own ups and downs over the course of this school year. Hopefully summer will help refresh and clear up some of the mass chaos we all had to go through together. Luckily we have foundations like TEF to join with our community to help take care of those who were lacking the resources they needed to make it through the school year.

​Looking forward a new school year where even though things will still be different than before the pandemic, we can all be prepared and ready and know that we can get through anything as long as we stick together! 

Trailblazing Thompson Winners Announced!

4/18/2021

 
Picture
April 8th 2021 was the first annual Trailblazing Thompson, A Salute to Excellence event! TEF, DLR Group and MBD Marketing and Events along with a long list of amazing sponsors came together to make this amazing event happen! But what is Trailblazing Thompson?
 
“A virtual event highlighting Thompson Education Foundation's programs and recognizing excellence in Thompson School District. This annual community event is TEF's Educator of the Year celebration and the features the announcement of the 2021 Educator of the Year recipients. 

The annual Educators of the Year awards are supported by King Buick GMC. Educator of the Year sponsor, King Buick GMC, feels the best way to give back to the community is through education support: building strong programs that will produce a highly trained workforce that can increase innovation and energy for American manufacturing. To honor Thompson School District educators, King Buick GMC provides car leases for 60 days to educator of the year winner in each categories and a 24 month car lease to the overall TEF Educator of the Year winner.”
​
This year TEF had 79 Thompson School District teachers, principals and staff members nominated for these awards. Only a handful of those can win awards and only one can be named 2021’s TEF Educator of the Year!
Picture
​After many hours of tough decision making the TEF board members finalized these amazing TSD teachers, principals and staff members as 2021 winners!
 
2021 Educator of the Year award recipients
 
TEF Educator of the Year     Barb Hartman, TSD Health Services Coordinator
Elementary Educator            Karen Shumate, Mary Blair Elementary School
Secondary Educator             Ericka Griess, Mountain View High School
Principal                                 Deon Davis, Coyote Ridge Elementary School

Principal                                 Ian Stout, Loveland Classical Schools
TSD Staff                               Jordan Jennings, Berthoud High School
 
As COVID has affected us all it has changed the way that we do events. This event, normally held in person with up to 400 people attending was unfortunately too large to accommodate at this time making it a live streaming virtual event! A lot goes into the behind the scenes when it comes to these types of events. Technical issues are always close by and it is hard for people to have the same confidence speaking in front of a camera with a mask on, rather than speaking to people who are physically there and that they can interact with.
 
Picture
​Trailblazing Thompson was filmed for live stream as well as a recorded video (which you can watch here https://www.thompsontef.org/trailblazing-thompson) at Bank of Colorado in Johnstown, CO. 

The hybrid experience we created (teachers receiving awards in person, while recorded for the live stream) was the right way to produce the event this year.
With any luck, Trailblazing Thompson 2022 will be held in person and we can hug our well deserved award winners.

Congratulations, Barb Hartman!

Cause Partnerships and Company Values

2/18/2021

 
Picture
Cause partnerships – when businesses and nonprofits work together toward a mutually beneficial goal – are a company’s values put into action. MBD Marketing and Events values creativity and fun, trust, authenticity, visionary ideas, and partnerships, and we manifest each of those company values every time we are hired to collaborate with a nonprofit organization.

We love working with clients with similar values and goals for our community. We believe we have a social responsibility to the northern Colorado communities we live and work in. Below are just some of the businesses and nonprofits we have worked with and the services they provide to better the lives of our NoCo neighbors

​

Picture
The Family Center/La Familia 
​

The Family Center/La Familia (TFC/LF) supports families in the Fort Collins area by providing affordable childcare, health education, adult education, and emergency assistance funding. TFC is proud to serve culturally diverse families and offers bilingual (English and Spanish) community based education, and we are proud to support The Family Center!

Picture
Teaching Tree Early Childhood Learning Center 

Childcare in Colorado is notoriously unaffordable; infant care for just one child would take up 21% of a median family’s income in our state. The Teaching Tree Early Childhood Learning Center offers quality, affordable childcare and early education to culturally and socioeconomically diverse Colorado families, with an emphasis on child development before the crucial age of five.

Picture
SummitStone Health Partners
​

SummitStone Health Partners provides mental health support and addiction services in Larimer County, with locations in Fort Collins and Loveland. SummitStone is the largest behavioral health provider of Medicaid in Larimer County, providing care that would otherwise be unattainable for many in our community.

Picture
Realities for Children
​

Founded by a former child protection case manager for Larimer County, Realities for Children  provides for the unmet needs of children in northern Colorado who have been abused, neglected, or are at-risk. The organization provides emergency funding, youth activities, critical supplies distributions and collaboration with other child welfare agencies. Realities for Children exists to serve and empower children through immediate support, community education, and collaboration with other agencies.

Picture
Blue Federal Credit Union
​

Blue Federal Credit Union (Blue FCU) was founded in Cheyenne, WY, and has a large presence in northern Colorado. Blue FCU builds company culture with their Do Good program, encouraging employees to volunteer on their own time and on behalf of Blue FCU at official events. 

MBD employees have spent time alongside Blue FCU employees building homes and working in thrift stores for Habitat for Humanity, and we recognize Blue FCU’s strong commitment to Realities for Children – this year, Blue FCU served as the presenting sponsor for the nonprofit’s largest annual fundraiser, Realities for Children NightLights.

Picture
Thompson Education Foundation

Thompson Education Foundation (TEF) is a non-profit organization that provides educational opportunities for Thompson School District students and educators. TEF removes barriers and supports experiences students need to engage in their academic environment.

My Big Day has enthusiastically partnered with TEF to bring unique events to the community and creative ways to fundraise during a global pandemic. We love being their Marketing & Events partner!

Picture
Partners

​Partners has been a nonprofit serving our community for over 40 years. Their mission is to empower youth and community members to achieve their full potential through mentoring, prevention education, and strategic partnership. 

Not only is MBD's owner, Christine, a former mentor with Partners, we are thrilled to be the planning team for their annual feature community event!
