PRSA-OKC to Offer Free PR Service to Nonprofits

Local nonprofit organizations can apply to have a team of public relations professionals plan their special event or campaign at no cost. The free services are offered through PR 360, an annual public service event hosted by the Oklahoma City Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).

PR 360 is open to officially chartered 501(c)3 nonprofits without a full-time public relations practitioner on staff.

The professional teams will present their plans to nonprofit representatives at the PR 360 luncheon on May 16, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. The public service event will also include media panel discussion on nonprofit media and communications.

PR 360 applications are available at www.prsaokc.com. The deadline to apply is Feb. 17. For more information or to volunteer as PR professional, contact Miranda Wilson at (405) 297-7744 or Angie Gaines at (405) 604-7109 or public.service@prsaokc.com.
