Leave Your Mark on the Rockies
Well, not the mountains. The awards.
The Boise Advertising Federation is looking to redesign the Rockie Awards, and they’ve opened up the design competition to anyone who’s willing to take a swing at it.
There are a few guidelines:
- Both Gold and Silver Rockies must be designed. On average, the BAF gives out 15 Golds and 115 Silvers each year.
- Awards must be able to be sourced and reproduced annually with relative ease.
- Each Rockies award given out is personalized with: agency name, client, category, year and “Idaho Advertising Federation”. Please consider this in all designs.
- Cost to produce each award must be under $20. Please consider this when recommending materials.
You can submit as many designs as you’d like, and submissions should be sent, in PDF format, to Robbin Gibson.
The deadline for submissions is December 1st.
Yes, this information originally came out in an email from the Boise Advertising Federation, but for those who may not have gotten the email or are not subscribed, it’s worth repeating here.

The Final Results: Think Pink’s Concert for the Cure
For those of you who may have missed it, Think Pink’s Concert for the Cure was this past Saturday. By all accounts, the concert was well attended, and a great time was had by all.
When it was all said and done, through ticket sales, sales of their signature Save the Boobs t-shirts and raffles of donated prizes, the event raised $4,000, which will be given to the Susan G. Komen foundation.
One touching moment during the concert that was passed along: “Pat Crozier and Nick Mcdowell from local band Smooth Old Fashioned High played a dedication song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, that showcased the tribute wall which was a rotating slideshow of people who have battled all types of cancer.”
Credit goes to the founders of Think Pink Inc, as well as the Boise Advertising Federation, for promoting this concert as their public service project for the year.

Think Pink: The Concert for the Cure
As some of you may have noticed, there is a new banner hanging on the upper right side of the Idaho Ad Agencies blog.
Think Pink’s Concert for the Cure is a benefit concert to educate the community about breast cancer, and to raise funds for the Boise Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The concert is scheduled for Saturday, November 8th, and full details are available below.
Think Pink Inc. was founded in October 2004 in Coeur d’Alene by Jen Henriksen, Crissie McDowell, Melanie Adams and Katie Shamberg, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Boise chapter of Think Pink was started in August 2008 by Lindzee Frei, Kate Holgate, Michelle Caster and Crissie McDowell. From Think Pink’s Our Story:
Our goal is to educate our community about breast cancer and aid in the fight to find a cure in our lifetime through various fundraising activities. 100% of funds raised are directly donated to the Boise Affiliate of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and are used to provide research grants and uninsured women in our area with mammograms, an essential tool in early detection.
To date, Think Pink Inc. has raised nearly $40,000 through events and t-shirt sales. More details about Think Pink are available on the fact sheet from their website.
