WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - July 3, 2015 - PRLog -- Wilesmith Advertising/Design Retained By Urban Youth Impact

(West Palm Beach, FL – July 2, 2015) Wilesmith Advertising/Design, West Palm Beach, has been retained by the non-profit organization Urban Youth Impact to refresh the organization’s brand and provide strategic communication counsel in advance of a Capital Campaign set to launch in late 2015.

Urban Youth Impact (UYI) https://urbanyouthimpact.com was founded by former golf pro Bill Hobbs, in 1988 and has an illustrious history. In 2002, UYI won the Crystal Palm Award for Outstanding Emerging Nonprofit Organization. In 2006, Mayor Lois Frankel of West Palm Beach named UYI the city’s best Faith-Based/Nonprofit Outreach. In 2010, UYI became a member agency of the United Way of Palm Beach County and in 2013 was recognized for its work by Extraordinary Charities in Palm Beach County. Hobbs is also the author “My Longest Drive: One Man’s Passion for the Urban Poor.”

Urban Youth Impact’s vision is to have nine campuses in the highest at-risk cities in Palm Beach County by 2020.

"UYI's leader Bill Hobbs is an inspiration. He put a stake in the ground for inner city kids and created an organization that is a stellar example of what can be achieved when the entire internal culture of the organization lives the mission and honors the vision. Ninety-four cents out of every dollar raised goes directly to UYI’s programs. That’s commendable. It’s a privilege to be working with UYI,” says Margaret Wilesmith, the award-winning firm’s president and creative director. “We’ve branded and marketed over 50 non-profits nationwide in arts and culture, education, and social services. It’s a perfect fit.”
