Many of you are likely familiar with Peter Shankman, and if you’re in Richmond, Virginia, you have a unique opportunity to not only hear him speak but also help Fight SMA at the same time!

Peter is the social media and public relations guru responsible for HARO, or “Help a Reporter Out”.  It’s a free mailing list that connects PR folks with reporters who need sources.  He’s making an appearance in Richmond to benefit Fight SMA.

Peter Shankman’s appearance is being organized by The Hodges Partnership, a PR firm run by a couple of good friends of Fight SMA.  The event is on Tuesday, January 27 at 7:30am at the WCVE-TV studios (address: 23 Sesame Street in Bon Air).  The cost is $25, with money going toward Fight SMA’s quest for a cure. For more information, please call Julia Webster at 804-788-1414.  You can also visit the Facebook event page built by The Hodges Partnership.
