Ellie Fund Do Good Partner Spotlight: AMP Agency


We love it when a company walks its talk. AMP Agency is doing just that this month with their 100+ employees participating in fun and easy activities to raise money and awareness for the Ellie Fund!

AMP is an integrated communications agency based in Boston’s North End that works with clients like Hasbro, Maybelline NY and the NFL Players Association.  Here are just a few of the ideas they’ve created to support us this month:

Drink Pink:
October started with fabulous event featuring pink cocktails and the marketing team sharing information about our mission that helped the rest of the team psyched to participate.
Think Pink
Last Tuesday AMP dressed in pink for Trivia Night at Porters Bar and Grill. Each point scored earned a $1 donation to the Ellie Fund.  (We’re luckily they’re so smart and competitive!)

Dress Pink
Throughout the month AMP is holding a pink clothing competition. Every time someone wears pink to work, AMP donates to the Ellie Fund. 

Pink agrees with you ladies!

AMP Creative Designers


Roberto leads the charge, promising to wear pink EVERY day for 31 days. Looking Good by Doing Good indeed!

And to make sure everyone at AMP would participate, they even made stickers for anyone who didn't own pink in their wardrobe.  

We think Abby looks particularly fetching in her Do Good collar.


Celebrate Pink
This week AMP is hosting an employee outing to celebrate the team’s efforts in the Do Good Campaign. We’ll be on hand to say thank you and help give out awards to those AMPers who raised the most money through trivia, wearing pink, and more.

Welcome Rachel!

We are honored to introduce you to our new Director of Development, Rachel Segien. The third full-time member of our fundraising team, Rachel will be in charge of new business development, sponsorships and more.

Rachel has been a friend of the Ellie Fund since 2008 when she and her husband Matt hosted a bowling event in memory of Matt's Mom to benefit our mission.  She stayed in touch over the years, and helped with sponsor solicitation for last year's Oscar Night Boston Gala.  When we asked if she would ever leave the corporate world, she replied only if it were to work for the Ellie Fund.  Voila! Our great partnership was born.

Originally from Vermont, Rachel's a Northeastern Univeristy alumna who focused her career on radio sales before moving to AMP Agency where she thrived as their Director of Business Development. 

Her quick wit, can-do attitude, and wicked sense of humor fit right in with our team, plus she's ridiculously smart, strategic, and passionate about our mission.  We look forward to Rachel helping us reach our $1M goal by 2015.  To send her a friendly welcome or inquire about her love of cats, Newport, RI or cheese, you can reach her at rsegien@elliefund.org.
