Buzz4Good! Nonprofits + Marketing
Nonprofit organizations do so much to enhance the quality of life in our communities, but they often lack the time, talent and budget to properly promote their missions and attract more donors, volunteers and clients to their cause.
Here on Buzz4Good! we feature the great work that nonprofits do. And we provide them with marketing tips and tools so they can achieve more buzz!
Buzz4Good! is hosted by Michael Hemphill, creator of the award-winning public television show "BUZZ," which features nonprofit organizations receiving pro bono "marketing makeovers" from teams of creative advertising professionals.

Friendship: Nonprofit senior living communities
Buzz4Good creator Michael Hemphill introduces a new sponsor to BUZZ whose mission is one that impacts – or will impact – all of us: retirement and growing old.
Since 1966, Friendship has provided a friendly, safe, and comfortable place for Roanoke Valley residents to live healthier, fuller lives. Michael talks to Friendship president and CEO Joe Hoff about Friendship’s history and mission in the Roanoke Valley, and its recent acquisition of Richfield Living. They also chat about how the senior living experience has evolved through the decades, and what the future holds for this growing industry that we all hope to enjoy one day.
And in honor of the start of Hokie football on Sept. 2, we replay our recent conversation with Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry, along with two of his players. We interviewed them for one of our upcoming BUZZ episodes that features The Hokie Way, a nonprofit that provides opportunities for VT student-athletes to use their Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) to help nonprofits in Southwest Virginia. According to Coach Pry, NIL is among the most important parts of his job today, so you won’t want to miss this.
