ROCKET MEDIA believes in giving back to the community. Sharing time and talent to help those who help others is something we have proudly been doing since 2003. Below we have listed previous community outreach projects and donations that we have provided to local organizations.

Community Outreach Projects

Association of Arizona Food Banks (www.azfoodbanks.org) - 2010
This organization found ROCKET MEDIA because of our work done with the United Food Bank, one of their association member food bank. This site will be completed by November of 2010. It will include many user friendly tools to help users navigate and find the food bank nearest their location as well as multiple other resources and programs.

City of Gardner, Kansas (www.gardnerkansas.gov) - 2009
Gardner, Kansas is the hometown of ROCKET MEDIA's CEO, Ben Kalkman, as well as the many other ROCKET-employed family members. Because of the hometown connection, ROCKET MEDIA chose the City of Gardner, Kansas for a 2009 outreach project. When the site was finished, the City of Gardner won the Kansas Association of City/County Management Innovation Award.

Gilbert Chamber of Commerce (www.gilbertaz.com, www.visitgilbertaz.com) - 2008, 2009, 2010
Thanks to ROCKET MEDIA, the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce website is now better positioned to optimize their goals of making online resources available to the greater Gilbert area community. Our work with the Chamber was recognized with the prestigious Leon Ulhorn award in 2008. In 2009, the Chamber asked ROCKET MEDIA to help them once again in building a website to promote tourism in The City of Gilbert linked to the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce. The results of that project are seen at the Visit Gilbert website. In 2010, the Chamber needed a website makeover and wanted the new site to match the branding of the Visit Gilbert website. The newly updated Chamber of Commerce website is estimated to be finished and live by December 2010.

Keep Phoenix Beautiful | Phoenix Recycles (www.keepphxbeautiful.org, phoenixrecycles.org) - 2009
These new website helped to better inform the public about community programs and efforts to maintain a clean and green community in the greater Phoenix area. ROCKET MEDIA was recognized with the Keep Phoenix Beautiful Small Business Partner award at the Earth Day celebration in 2009.

Neutral Zones of America | Alumni Classic (www.nzofa.org, www.alumniclassic.com) - 2009
Neutral Zones of America, a nonprofit youth organization, came to us after seeing our presentation on social media for business at the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce. They felt that ROCKET MEDIA could help them reach their goals and spread the word about their organization and the upcoming Alumni Classic event. We helped them with both the Neutral Zones of America organization website, as well as their Alumni Classic event website. Our social media expert also helped them publicize and grow the awareness of their upcoming event through newly created social networks.

United Food Bank (www.unitedfoodbank.org) - 2009
ROCKET MEDIA provided The United Food Bank with a website that helps them better communicate and facilitate their services. Read more about this project in their featured case study.
