They have provided free and discounted PR &amp; Marketing services to over 600 beneficiaries since their inception in 2014. They made history in January as being one of the largest pro bono marketing agencies in the world and have been seen on the front pages of media giants such as but not only Yahoo! Finance, Forbes Journal, TIME Magazine Paris, New York Times Daily, The Washington Mail, The Los Angeles Tribune and more! They&rsquo;ve been coined a &ldquo;legion of legends&rdquo; in the media led by the Founder, Calynn M. Lawrence (Ms. USA Universe Tourism 2021), that has been called &ldquo;Supergirl of Small Business PR (Various outlets),&rdquo; &ldquo;One of The Greatest Minds In Creative PR (A Valid Review),&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Queen Midas of Small Business Marketing (Humor &amp; Style Magazine).&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">The ceremony is invitation only and self-funded by their parent company with no ticket sales, entry fees or nomination fees to make it 100% accessible to every demographic! Its Founder sets this in place because she does not want anyone who deserves recognition to be stifled by their financial situation. Thus, the food, drinks, raffles and actual awards are of no charge to guests as a part of their pro bono cause. The credit for this amazing event also goes to the contributors who made it happen outside of its Founder! Photos &amp; Videos were done by volunteers who exemplify the mission of the initiative : A Taste of Chicago, Shay James &amp; Cami Lawrence. Decor &amp; catering was done by Damuchi Does It, Leretha Thomas &amp; Toriano Lawrence. Set Up And Take Down was done by their beloved volunteers. The Royal Ambassadors also donated a portion of their People&#8217;s Choice Competition fundraiser proceeds to the event totalling $350.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/S40lf29FQF57ipWersIqp6yloqqzx3joybBOXQT_LR1BHwk75hpitPQ4dUP7Ox5xe9DzAC2qHyLCHWtnsmoPWs4Brum7VewKVMrF8W6YD29aljG_XuMcwt-Z8dU8tciWWDzdv5p5\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">This year the ceremony hosted a thorough program with three separate honors that were available to guests!
