Ambassadors

As we continually expand our reach across the state of Florida, we have increased our advertising efforts outside of Crooms. With this, we have created new positions exclusively for students and teachers at other schools. They assist CroomsCon by being a liaison between us and the student body at their school. They post the CroomsCon banner in their cafeteria and the posters in their halls and pass on our marketing materials to their morning announcements and TV production classes. After CroomsCon is over in March, they remove the old posters from the halls and keep the CroomsCon banner safe until it’s time to hang it again in November. Our Ambassadors are an integral part to constantly expanding our donation potential.
