Since the launch of BUZZ in 2020, Virginia marketing agency 5Points Creative has provided the creative “buzz” for a dozen different #nonprofits in just as many episodes.
Now 5Points Creative co-owner Dan Bryan is helping one of his passion projects for which he continues to volunteer: Alabama Task Force 1’s K9 Search Team, which offers vital recovery assistance not just in Alabama but for other U.S. disasters such as Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and the Guadalupe River flooding in Texas.
Natural disasters don’t respect state boundaries, so neither does ALTF1, which opens its training to any K9 rescue team in the country. Why Alabama? Because of a two-legged creature, Jenifer Arballo, who has spent her life getting the most out of the four-legged variety.
Funding for these productions comes from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama’s The Caring Foundation, Robert R. Meyer Foundation and Hoar Construction.
