AD RELIEF OF GREATER LOS ANGELES
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dave Kovisto
Ad Relief President
Shortly after I entered the advertising sales profession, my General
Manager walked into my office and told me that he was currently the
President of an industry organization called AIEF (now Ad Relief) and he
would like me to consider financially supporting the organization. After
he told me more about the organization and its mission, I said “So it’s
industry people helping industry people who are facing a life crisis?
Count me in.”
Fast forward almost twenty years and I now proudly serve as the
President of Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles and I welcome you here
today to our 31st Annual November Fundraiser. George, thank you for
exposing me to this wonderful organization that has helped literally
hundreds of people thanks to the generosity of caring people (such as
you) who make up our vibrant industry. We have continued to provide
financial and emotional support to our colleagues who need it the most.
In fact, here are a few interesting statistics that help paint the picture of
our current situation:our current situation:
• In 2012, we have handled more cases than we did in any single
year in the past 5 years
• In 2012, we have disbursed more money to beneficiaries than
we did for the previous 3 years
• Disbursements in 2011 were 4 times greater than they were
during the previous year and in 2012, they are already double
of what they were in 2011

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
What this means is that now, more than ever, your continued support is
critical to our ongoing work. We are all just one call away from a
life-changing event that could place us in a position of needing help.
Such a life crisis could happen to any of us at any time.
I would like to extend a special thank you to those of you who have
contributed to our November Fundraiser in the form of sponsorships,
silent auction donations, show book advertising and to those who have
contributed their time and effort in helping make today’s event a huge
success. In addition, we especially want to thank Southern California
Chevrolet Dealers Association for their gracious donation of the beautiful
2013 Chevrolet Volt as our Grand Prize this year.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we want to thank you for being with
us today and for your generous support of our industry’s own charity, the
Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles.
I wish you all continued success and a very happy Holiday Season!

THE 31 ST ANNUAL NOVEMBER FUNDRAISER
WELCOME
Nicole Levitt
Executive Director
We would like to thank everyone for attending our 31st Annual November
Fundraiser. This event is a huge success because each of you are here today.
As many of you already know, the mission of Ad Relief is to help those
in our industry who, through no fault of their own, have fallen on bad
times financially and emotionally. They may have experienced an injury,
been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, or lost their home in a
natural disaster. That is why Ad Relief exists. Like a family, we are here to be
a safety net for friends and colleagues in our local advertising community.
We have come a long way since our humble beginnings in 1972,
granting over $2 million in critically needed supplies and services
to beneficiaries. We could not have done so without the wonderful
support we receive from event participants such as yourselves. At Ad
Relief, we continue to find ways to involve you and the industry and you
will begin to see some of these changes this coming year. We have
already created a membership program that provides special benefits
to our most dedicated supporters. We have a website at adrelief.org
that will become the “go to” place for the Los Angeles area advertising
community to post events, job changes and local industry news. And
you can expect a couple of fun, new events in the coming years, which
will raise Ad Relief’s visibility and inspire more people to support our work.
Today, we have an exciting afternoon planned for you. We’d like to
give special recognition to KNBC, Univision, KABC, KCBS/KCAL,
KDOC-TV, Telemundo/KVEA, CBS Radio and Clear Channel Radio for
their very generous support!
Thank you all for joining us!
All our best,
Nicole Levitt

AD RELIEF OF GREATER LOS ANGELES
2012 LIFE SAVE AWARD
Susan Franceschini
Executive Director, thinkla
Susan has spent the last 20+ years of her career immersed in the Los Angeles
advertising, media and marketing community. A good portion of that was spent
in Human Resources and recruiting for agencies such as Davis Elen and
TBWA\Chiat\Day, and with her own company, AdJobsInc.com.
Her early experience in HR and recruiting served as a perfect backdrop to her
current role as Executive Director for thinkLA. For the past nine years, Susan has
helped lead thinkLA to become the premier advertising and marketing association
in the country. Under her leadership, the organization has flourished, including over
5,000 members and producing 50+ sell-out events for the industry each year.
Since the beginning of her career, Susan has been involved with industry
philanthropic partners, including the Multicultural Advertising Training Program,
LA Futures Academy, and Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles. In a collaborative
effort to bring awareness to Ad Relief’s mission, thinkLA produces events
such as Pokeraoke and AdJam, and coproduces Charity Golf Day, raising over
$50,000 annually. Susan believes that if “we have the means to help, then we
should do it. We all have a responsibility to support our peers.”
Under Susan’s guidance, thinkLA’s latest endeavor is a partnership with
Loyola Marymount University to launch mSchool: Institute for Marketing at LMU.
The program will develop the next generation of marketing professionals who
can make an immediate impact in the workplace upon graduation. mSchool will
help fill the talent gap with a focus on core skills that are most relevant to today’s
advertising roles, including social media management, creative content
development, leveraging digital platforms to connect ideas and measuring
effectiveness. Susan and the LA community she leads are spurring young
advertising and marketing professionals to create, inspire and grow.

RECIPIENTS WRITE TO AD RELIEF
“You were responsible for saving our home,
our car and, to a large extent, our minds. The
food cards were a Godsend for they not only
provided healthy, positive food but they also
permitted us to use our limited resources in
ways that kept us from being overwhelmed.”
“We wanted to tell you how grateful we are
for your help and kindness but words just
don’t seem to be enough.”

We would like to thank everyone for attending our 31st Annual November
Fundraiser. This event is a huge success because each of you are here today.
As many of you already know, the mission of Ad Relief is to help those
in our industry who, through no fault of their own, have fallen on bad
times financially and emotionally. They may have experienced an injury,
been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, or lost their home in a
natural disaster. That is why Ad Relief exists. Like a family, we are here to be
a safety net for friends and colleagues in our local advertising community.
We have come a long way since our humble beginnings in 1972,
granting over $2 million in critically needed supplies and services
to beneficiaries. We could not have done so without the wonderful
support we receive from event participants such as yourselves. At Ad
Relief, we continue to find ways to involve you and the industry and you
will begin to see some of these changes this coming year. We have
already created a membership program that provides special benefits
to our most dedicated supporters. We have a website at adrelief.org
that will become the “go to” place for the Los Angeles area advertising
community to post events, job changes and local industry news. And
you can expect a couple of fun, new events in the coming years, which
will raise Ad Relief’s visibility and inspire more people to support our work.
Today, we have an exciting afternoon planned for you. We’d like to
give special recognition to KNBC, Univision, KABC, KCBS/KCAL,
KDOC-TV, Telemundo/KVEA, CBS Radio and Clear Channel Radio for
their very generous support!
Thank you all for joining us!
All our best,
Nicole Levitt
