Three Seven Marketing Group Celebrates Lupus Awareness Month

May 23, 2011 - PRLog -- The team at Three Seven Marketing Group, Inc. recognized Lupus Awareness Month by fundraising for The Lupus Alliance of America.   Members of the company spent a Saturday donating time and money to raise awareness for the cause.

Three Seven Marketing Group is a sales and marketing company founded in Troy, Michigan.  The company specializes in acquiring and retaining business clients for national corporations.  

The Lupus Alliance of America is a collection of agencies that came together in order to express the purpose of providing needed services to those affected by lupus within their local communities. The Lupus Alliance of America helps to support individuals, organizations and agencies that are involved in research to find a cure for lupus or to improve treatment of the disease. Support is provided in the form on giving money to research and spreading knowledge that is able to help advance efforts leading to a cure.

The Three Seven Marketing Group team and President, Tara Masia, took initiative and volunteered to raise awareness about the disease in hopes of drawing more attention to the disease during Lupus Awareness Month in May.

“We feel it is important to spread awareness so that those who are affected by Lupus have more support and resources,” said President Tara Masia.

Since many members of the team at Three Seven Marketing Group personally know someone with Lupus spreading awareness and raising money for this cause was especially important to them.

The team volunteered 6 hours of their time on a Saturday speaking with members of the community about the disease.  The Lupus Alliance of America provided informative bookmarks for distribution and the team at Three Seven Marketing took it upon themselves to create information sheets to add to the packet.  The company not only raised money within the community, they made a donation of their own.  

The money raised by Three Seven Marketing Group will help to fund a lupus commercial aimed at raising awareness about the disease and how it affects people afflicted with it.

“At the end of the day, we felt excited and proud of our efforts,” Tara Masia said. “When dealing with the public, each person on my team encountered either someone affected by Lupus or someone who had a friend or family member affected by the disease. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude was expressed to my team and me and that was the most rewarding part!”

This is just one of the ways Three Seven Marketing Group, Inc. plans on giving back to the community.  They plan to participate in Relay For Life to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society.  The team has also joined with several other businesses in events aimed towards raising money for Operation Smile.
