Mission 500’s #ShowOrange campaign has officially kicked off and is currently ramping up activities to support needy children in the United States. Launched earlier this month, #ShowOrange is already reaching out through online and offline media and raising awareness and funding for Mission 500’s charity efforts. Mission 500 will be incorporating #ShowOrange into a variety of upcoming activities including the charity’s signature 5K/2K walk/run held at ISC West.
Mission 500 launched the M500 Show Orange initiative aimed specifically at providing aid to children in need in the United States. To join the campaign, participants wear or pose with something orange — an article of clothing, accessory, etc. — on any Friday. Then they simply take a selfie and submit it to info@mission500.org. Each week, one of the submitted photos will be chosen for posting on Mission 500’s ShowOrange gallery on Facebook.
A portion of the proceeds of SIA Honors Night benefits the Mission 500 nonprofit organization, which is organizing the security industry to sponsor 1,000 children in need, providing access to life-changing basics such as food, clean water, healthcare and education.
