In addition, we plan an event each year as part of our "Annual Cause" program to support a non-profit of our choice, this year's event being a Dance Marathon for Givology, an online donation organization started at Penn. We work with a variety of organizations and plan smaller-scale workshops and events each semester to highlight why marketing is an important part of the service world.
