Remodeling and Renovation

As you know, we've been busy with many things over the last few weeks. Over the weekend, Roger and I worked on some revisions to the website as we incorporated the new logo and the style changes recommended by our great team at the CreateAThon on Campus at VCU. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Big thanks to our web geniuses, Jay & Ruth Campbell at Jade Enterprises, for their help in this endeavor as well as their continued support by hosting the CJSTUF website on their server.

We took this opportunity to update our foundation video as well. You can view it here or on our website. Did you know that since we launched this video in early 2010, it has been viewed over 10,000 times? That's pretty amazing!

CJs Thumbs Up Foundation (CJSTUF)

The video is available on YouTube as well but I like this version better because it didn't cut off the song at the end. I think something happened in the conversion process.

Anyway, as you know, we've got a lot of events coming up in the next few weeks and we still need volunteers. If you can bake for the bake sale(s) on 8/21 or 8/27 or would like to volunteer some time at the Carnival on August 27th, please contact us today.   

Thanks to our loyal supporters, blog followers, and friends for continuing to spread the word about our organization.  We can't do it without you!

Check out our new look!

We are excited to announce some big changes for CJ's Thumbs Up Foundation. In April of this year, CJSTUF was selected as one of 12 Richmond area nonprofits to participate in the CreateAThon on Campus project. Each team of marketing and advertising students worked with representatives from the respective organizations to help develop marketing materials.  

At our quarterly board meeting on July 19th, the Board adopted the new logo and color scheme created by our CreateAThon team. We love it. We hope you do too.

The original CJ butterfly will still be around in various forms but look for changes in the coming months to our website as well as other marketing materials. You can see some of the immediate changes on our Facebook page! (Are you a fan already?)  

This also means that all of our current t-shirts containing our old logo have now become limited edition collector's items! Get 'em while they last.

Stay tuned for more announcements with our August newsletter (coming soon!)
