Steve Gaines Creative Director
We are pleased to reveal the event branding for the upcoming 9th Annual Family Retreat for Children’s Hemiplegia & Stroke Association (CHASA) to be held in Florence, Alabama. CHASA is the first non-profit organization in North America to offer information and support to families of infants, children, and young adults who have hemiplegia or hemiplegic cerebral palsy. This is our second year of branding this event and the organization has a special place in our hearts—one of our dear friend’s son, Evan, suffered a stroke shortly after birth. Evan is a vibrant, fun little guy who isn’t letting the effects of his stroke slow him down.

It is essential non-profits have a strong brand that supports their mission, connects with their audience and enhances fundraising. Many non-profits don’t have the resources to develop and support 
their brands to their full potential. Causality offers both full and matching brand grants to allow non-profits to realize the full potential to develop their brands through strategy, brand development, graphic design, marketing and interactive services.
