Team ‘Media Melanie Mutts’ Walking and Tweeting to Benefit the San Diego Humane Society

May 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Marketing specialist and animal enthusiast Melanie Kellogg (Media Melanie) is proud to be team captain for ‘Media Melanie Mutts’ in the 17th annual Walk for Animals in San Diego.  The Barkin’ Beach Bash begins at 9 am on Saturday, May 7 at Crown Point Shores.  Festivities for walkers and their friendly, leashed dogs will include a three-quarter-mile walk, vendors, tasty food, and more.  Proceeds raised from the event benefit animals throughout San Diego to ensure they get the care they need.  

Media Melanie and team CO-Captain Faith Newkirk raised a majority of their donations with social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Wordpress.  Media Melanie promoted the event with a successful Facebook T-shirt design contest to increase awareness for the San Diego Humane Society and to brand the team.  Cards by Marcy designed the winning logo and the team shirts were produced by Lyric Screen Printing owner Stan Norgard.  To learn more about these generous San Diego businesses please visit: http://www.cardsbymarcy.com/ and http://lyricscreenprinting.com/.  

This year is Media Melanie’s second time participating in the walk, but helping animals is a year-round passion.  Media Melanie promotes adoptable dogs in San Diego on a regular basis with various social media tools, especially Twitter.

“Our team is excited for the walk and hopes to further build the ‘Media Melanie Mutts’ brand in 2011 to come back stronger in 2012.  The goal is to partner with local dog rescue organizations to create fun and successful adoption events.  My personal mission is to ‘Pay it Forward’ to dogs who need help; my dog Maya came from the San Diego Humane Society over 3 years ago and has positively impacted my life since," says Kellogg.

The 17th Annual Walk for Animals has already raised 41% of their $500,000 goal but they need more help.  It’s not too late to make a difference in the life of a needy animal in San Diego; please visit the 'Media Melanie Mutts' Team page to donate directly:  http://www.sdhumane.org/site/TR?team_id=8551&fr_id=1080&p...
