Started at MSU in 2011, the Pay It Forward Challenge was created to match local charities with advertising and marketing students at top universities. These students were organized into teams and encouraged to raise funds and awareness for a charity of their choosing. Students were then graded by MSU professor David Reagan and representatives from Protect America, one of the nation’s largest home security companies and organizer of the Challenge. “We were really impressed with what the MSU students were able to accomplish,” As part of the Challenge, students created their own “companies” “There’s no limit to what these students can do for local organizations,” Protect America provided each team with a $500 in startup funds. They were also given a video camera to document their experiences. Teams participating in the Challenge help their charities by creating or updating websites, running extensive social media campaigns, and attracting local media attention. Teams attracted a wide range of donations, including an $850 bike rack, an XBOX, and over 1200 books. In total, the Pay It Forward Challenge raised more than $11,000 for Lansing charities.
