Fairfax Pets on Wheels

Situation
Summary background of the organization
Since 1987, FPOW has provided companionship and an improved quality of life to residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities through a regular pet visitation. Currently this group has over 300 human (and even more animals/nonhumans!) that volunteer with them.

Obstacles
The communication challenges faced
They wanted to create a new web site to achieve two purposes:

1.Recruit more volunteers and update them on the life of Pets on Wheels.

2.Raise awareness, and raise funding.

Solution
The steps and solution taken by the CreateAThon team
In record time, a team of two CreateAThon volunteers designed a format for the site that could house their online store of volunteer outfits, as well as feature video of their president. The design featured many wonderful images from the group’s events and of their animal volunteers.
