This must-attend industry event will honor the top nonprofit PR campaigns of the year, the smartest communications initiatives and the people behind them. 

Calvin Stowell, social media strategist for DoSomething.org, will keynote the luncheon.  During his presentation, Calvin will share how the nonprofit organization uses the power of online to get teens involved in causes they care about offline. Stowell will be joined by three teens who will share their experiences with giving back to the community.
