"It is a pleasure and an honor to coordinate the social media marketing for the Big Bad Ball again this year," said Martin Brossman, Principal, Martin Brossman & Associates. "The greatest gift we can offer Hospice from this event goes beyond the money we are raising--it's about expanding our community's awareness of how Hospice of Wake County gives us a place to deal with the most challenging moments in our lives. Without a structure like Hospice, people are often left with only the loss from the passing of a loved one. With Hospice, we carry on the gifts of our loved one's lives and enrich life for all."
