San Diego Marketing Group Helps Support Local Beach Sports and Beach Improvement

Online, August 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - San Diego Marketing Group partnered up with the San Diego Beach Improvement Group (BIG) http://www.sandiegobig.org to support the King and Queen Beach Volleyball Celebration, a two-on-two beach volleyball event.

San Diego BIG is a non-profit organization working towards improving sports equipment in San Diego County. Proceeds from events such as the King and Queen Celebration go towards sporting equipment at South Mission Beach, as well as other beach projects. The organization took over the maintenance for San Diego beach sporting equipment in 2002 and officially became a non-profit in 2007.

One of our managers, Sara Stafford, even participated in the event as a contestant.

"Since we started the company, we knew we wanted to make sure we were making an impact in the community. I am proud of the team we have here at the company because they share the same goals and are always excited to get involved. Laura runs such a great organization and I am excited to be involved with the Group in the future," said Sara Stafford, Managing Partner.

"This was just a great event and we got a lot of positive feedback from everyone involved," said Laura Hendrickson, Executive Director for San Diego BIG. "A lot of pre- and post work that people don't realize goes in to these events. The groups who come and help really fill in for all the needs we have to make the event run smoothly."

San Diego BIG is also hosting San Diego BeachFest, a six-on-six beach volleyball tournament and 5K on Oct. 2. http://www.sandiegosixman.com

In two weeks, San Diego Marketing Group will participate in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, a 24-hour event to raise awareness of the disease. The event will be held in downtown San Diego and the company is raising $1,000 to donate to the foundation.
