CRESTVIEW — This month through January, the Crestview News Bulletin will recognize North Okaloosa County's nonprofit organizations.
And the news organization would appreciate your help.
The CNB's news and advertising departments have launched Celebrate Community, an initiative that champions nonprofits strengthening Crestview, Baker, Laurel Hill and surrounding communities.
"We want to bring awareness to nonprofits that make the most significant impact on our community," Editor Thomas Boni said.
For the next four months, the News Bulletin will publish stories about organizations that help children, women, animals, military personnel, homeless people, those with mental illnesses and people with addictions.
Local nonprofits that provide these types of services can send their information to news@crestviewbulletin.com for inclusion in our Northwest Florida nonprofits directory.
The CNB also may feature or mention the nonprofit in a future story.
Please include the nonprofit's name, organizational focus, administrative costs, phone number, address, website and how people can help support the organization.
September's area of focus will be nonprofits that help children, with a submission deadline of Tuesday, Sept. 8.
In addition, the news organization will offer special advertising packages and prizes, such as trips for top clients. Call media sales consultants Sherrie Stanley and Diana Baker, 682-6524, for more information on advertising options.
The CNB — along with the Northwest Florida Daily News, the Destin Log, Walton Sun and Santa Rosa's Press Gazette — have joined GateHouse Media's more than 500 news organizations across the country for this initiative.
