Win a Ford Mustang!
Help Support Access Tucson Community Media through this raffle that benefits the whole community.
Jim Click has donated a 2015 Ford Mustang, 50th Anniversary Edition to help Southern Arizona non-profit groups to raise money by selling raffle tickets. Tickets are $25 each, or five for $100, and Access Tucson gets to keep 100 percent of the proceeds from the tickets we sell! Please see the front desk to purchase tickets at 124 E. Broadway or call 624-9833 or email Vicki Evans at vevans@accesstucson.org. The iconic Mustang, an American muscle car, burst onto the scene in 1964 and never looked back. The Ford Motor Company is building exactly 1,964 of these vehicles that are based on the GT coupe. To give you an idea of just how exclusive this vehicle is, consider this: Bill Ford, CEO of the Ford Motor Company, will take possession of the very first one. Other Ford executives have lined up but the vast majority will be sold to the public. The MSRP is $48,190 but already people are starting to pre-order them all over the world and are offering to pay tens of thousands of dollars over the list price! This vehicle is expected to go up in value, significantly, and is considered to be a collectible.

Working the Media Workshop Series
REGISTER HERE: Working the Media: Hometown-Centric Marketing for Businesses and Non-Profits with Miguel Ortega
Access Tucson Community Media is very proud to host this workshop series designed for business owners and nonprofit executive directors (or their community relations staff members) that are looking to understand the basics of engaging the media in order to better promote their products and services.
Participants will learn about the differences between earned and owned media, how to pivot during a difficult interview and how Localism can help them edge out a crowded media field. These workshops include hands-on trainings opportunities and pragmatic information about how to make the best out of in-studio and stand up interviews. Participants will also learn how to organize their central messages with 2 to 3 supporting points. The goal is to have each participant leave with a better understanding of their built-in assets that can be used to leverage earned or very affordable and better media coverage.
