CreateAthon works
to help businesses of
Greensboro

Staff Writer
Red Bull and chocolate were essentials to the
employees of thesalesfactory during their 24-
hour shift, which started at 8 a.m. last Thursday.
The event was called the CreateAthon, and that is
exactly what the talented advertising team did all
day and night
CreateAthon is a nation-wide program where
advertising agencies work around the clock for
24 hours to produce advertising services such
as fliers, brochures, and web pages to nonprof-it
organizations that do not have a budget for
marketing. Since the program's creation in 1998
about 40 agencies have joined and helped over
833 organizations. Thesalesfactory has been part
of the CreateAthon program since 2002.
"My brother started it up with us. We were
looking for a good way to give back to the com-munity
... this seemed like a fun and ener-getic
way to do it," said Ged King, president of
thesalesfactory.
Thesalesfactory, a local company started by
King's father in 1984, normally services clients
like Wrangler, Wal-Mart, N.C. State University,
Tylenol, and Palm Harbor Homes. However,
during their 24-hour work day, they helped 14
organizations, including GSO Urban Ministry,

Hospice HP, Guilford Child Development, and the
YWCA Greensboro.
The requirements for the organizations that apply
are only that they be based in North Carolina and
nonprofit.
"Forty organizations applied this year, and only
14 made it," said King. "Usually only about 12 apply,
and it's so hard to say no."
Diane Faucette, communications director for
YWCA Greensboro, has been with thesalesfactory
during the CreateAthon events for three years. This

Demonstration shows
dangers of drinking and
driving
Rachel Feinberg
Staff Writer
At noon on Wednesday a large
crowd gathered at the circle on
Walker Avenue near Jackson Li-brary
and the EUC to watch a
demonstration by the Greens-boro
Fire Department on drunk
driving.
The Fire and Police Depart-ments
put on a demonstration of
what can happen when you drink
and drive. A dummy, Ben Wright,
was inside the damaged vehicle
narrating his thoughts as the fire
and police crews showed what
they do in certain situations.
First, the crew removed the
door and roof of the car to get
Wright out, then placed him on
a backboard to perform CPR and
try to save him. After a few min-utes
of him not responding they
pronounced him dead.
"Many students know of some-one
who has died or been seri-ously
injured in a car accident,
and even if they don't, [the dem-onstration]
is a real awakening to
those who drink and drive," said
Iris Downey, a senior.
Sarah Stout, a senior, said she
knew someone in this kind of
situation.
"It was a good demonstra-tion
and good that the city
came together to put it on," said
Stout. "Even guys were crying
afterwards."
The production is called VIP
for a VIP, meaning "Vehicle In-jury
Prevention for a Very Impor-tant
Person," and is usually held
at high schools in the area but
UNCG invited the fire depart-ment
to hold it on campus.
"This is the first time it's been
done at a college," said Ben Wright,
who works for the Greensboro
Fire Department.
VIP for a VIP is dedicated to
students at host schools who
have lost their lives in vehicular
accidents.
"We want students to be con-scious
of what they're doing in-side
a vehicle," commented Steve
Zimmerman, captain of the fire
department. "We want them to
concentrate on driving."
Firefighters and EMS crew work to 'revive" a dummy at the
VIP for VIP demonstration.
