Yellow Boots was formed following the devastation from Super Storm Sandy in my hometown of Staten Island, NY. One of my primary roles was managing press relations and writing press releases. Additionally, performed community outreach and provided assistance with donations and immediate needs; planned and facilitated seasonal events/programs for families such as Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas trees, Halloween costumes, Coat Drives, children’s books, shopping events and family fun. As the group's objectives grew, I began reaching out to establish corporate relationships in order to acquire materials for families rebuilding. As a result, we were able to collaborate with Muralo Paint Co., Sherwin Williams, Rustoleum-Zinsser, PPG-Glidden, Wagner Tools, Nomorerack, Implus-Little Hotties, and GE Lighting in order to secure donations of primer, paint, tools, and other building supplies. We were also able to secure donations of drinking water and hand warmers for field volunteers.
