The Net Now team. We are truly blessed to have Jaclyn update and maintain our website. She is the most efficient "techie" we have ever dealt with.
Grey Worldwide Advertising chose the London Anti-Bullying Coalition to be the recipient of pro bono work. When they were researching the topic of bullying they were astounded at how many suicides are attributed to bullying. They made the serious outcome of suicide the focus of our Public Service Announcement. Watch for this public service announcement on your local station.
Special Thanks to our “Fairy
Godmother” and all contributors to the magnet campaign.
