Award-Winning College Safety App to Donate Proceeds to Participating Partners
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. (PRWEB) August 28, 2018
Umergency™ is giving back. The all-in-one safety app that prepares college families for any crisis, health or safety situation is donating portions of its proceeds to participating partners as part of Umergency’s “give back” program.
Just in time for back-to-school, Umergency will contribute 10 percent of sales it receives from app downloads to colleges, organizations and associations enrolled in the program to help support their cause-related initiatives.
Participating partners receive a customizable promo code, as well as a communications tool kit for marketing the Umergency app to their respective constituencies. Proceeds generated from app downloads using the special promo code will be returned to the participating partner organization.
“Whether you’re a college or university looking to support a scholarship, or fundraising for an organization, our give back program is a fantastic way to promote campus safety among college students and their parents, while helping our partners achieve their goals,” said Gail Schenbaum, Umergency’s co-founder.
