Introduction

Hello! My name is Nick Geoppo and I’m studying Human Resources, Marketing, and Public Relations at Gonzaga University! This blog is for a social media marketing class. I am the President of Theta Chi Fraternity, Bring the People Lead for Zags Against Cancer, and Events Coordinator for the Society for Human Resource Management. My goal is to graduate in May and land a job as a marketing manager for Crowd Management Services. I have been working for the company for about 5 months. It is our goal to deliver customized guest services, crowd management, and security solutions with an emphasis on prevention for events of all sizes. I hope to start a creative social media campaign that will serve to help us land new contracts, bring in new and qualified employees, and create more of an environment where employees can contact each other. I’ve lived in Spokane for most of my life, so I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. That being said, it would be pretty cool to get a beach...

Unified Sports Basketball Game

NBA Cares focuses on partnering with organizations that are heavily involved with either at-risk youth or athletics, or in some cases, both. Some of these organizations include the Boys & Girls Club of America, Hoops for St. Jude, the Special Olympics, and the YMCA. One of the most notable charity events is hosted in partnership with the Special Olympics. Every year, the two organizations work together to put on the NBA Cares Special Olympics Unified Sports Basketball Game. In this event, athletes from the NBA, WNBA, and Special Olympics play against each other to raise proceeds for the Special Olympics. The game was originally a part of the NBA All-Star weekend, but was found to be much more successful as a separate event. The Special Olympics' mission is to unleash the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports.

NBA Cares

NBA Cares has been facilitating and following player involvement in local communities for years. The New Orleans Pelicans' Demarcus Cousins, most known for being a tough guy and a hard personality on the court, dedicated much of his summer to giving back to the community. Cousins has focused on giving back to the communities that have helped impacted him the most. He donated funds to build a state of the art basketball court in his hometown of Mobile, Alabama. He also hosted multiple free basketball camps for 300+ children in Sacramento, the city Cousins is most known for playing for. Cousins participated in the NBA Africa Game over the summer and was a key contributor to Basketball Without Boarders, an organization dedicated to spreading the joy of basketball around the world. Cousins has been awarded the NBA Cares Community Assist Award for his actions. It is always a joy to see athletes use their sports as a way to spread joy in local communities.

My First Time Using Ripl!

I found Ripl very easy to use. This is the free version, so please ignore the simplicity and annoying background music.  I've always been a huge fan of Nick Young. I hope he can make it on an already stacked Warriors team!
