ATLANTA--The Grizzard Signature Group today announced it has been selected to manage fundraising direct-response initiatives for the Pacific Legal Foundation. The award extends the direct marketing agency’s relationship with the Pacific Legal Foundation through the 2007 calendar year. Founded in 1973, Pacific Legal Foundation is America’s oldest and largest public interest legal organization dedicated to limited government and individual liberty. Pacific Legal Foundation is particularly renowned for its expertise in the area of private property rights, its opposition to racial discrimination by government, and its litigation against oppressive regulations and in support of a balanced approach to environmental protection. “We are working with Grizzard in order to advance our fight for freedom,” said Rob Rivett, President of Pacific Legal Foundation. “Year in and year out, we win victories in court for property rights and other constitutional liberties, but our ultimate success also requires raising our profile and letting many more people, throughout the country, learn about our important work and the vital principles that inspire what we do. Our relationship with Grizzard will help us achieve that crucial goal.” The contract with Pacific Legal Foundation underscores Grizzard's entrepreneurial roots and aligns with the company's core philosophical values. Pacific Legal Foundation fights in court for the little guy against the virtually bottomless resources of "big government" agencies. The foundation aims to “rescue liberty” from the grasp of government, and is a voice for all Americans. Similarly, Grizzard's fundraising efforts on behalf of its client base of non-profits seek to make the world a better place. "By adding Pacific Legal Foundation to our roster of cherished clients, we extend our hope for a better, freer, more just society," said Barbara Johnson, Vice President of Grizzard Signature Group.
