  • Urban Prairie Coffee 5606b Johnson Drive Mission, KS, 66202 United States (map)

Learn about an award-winning campaign and get insights from more than a decade in nonprofit communications.

The KC Pet Project carried out a social media campaign last year that earned a GOLD Philly Award from Nonprofit Connect. Learn about their campaign and the marketing/communications efforts of this Kansas City nonprofit at our next KC IABC Coffee Chat. Tori Fugate has been the organization’s chief communications officer since 2012 and she has many stories to share.

All are welcome to this free event. Registration (below) is required.


Tori Fugate joined the KC Pet Project team in March 2012 – shortly after the organization took over the Kansas City, Mo., animal shelter in January 2012. Tori’s role with KC Pet Project has enabled her to build the organization’s brand and promote its mission from inception to what it is today. She oversees all marketing, events, web management, social media, retail sales, education initiatives, and media relations, and she recently served on the design and construction committee of the KC Campus for Animal Care, Kansas City’s new animal shelter. She enjoys the opportunity to promote KC Pet Project and its pets through social media and in print, radio and television appearances on a local and national level – including People Magazine, The Dodo, The Huffington Post, CBS News, USA Today, Queer Eye, and The Rachael Ray Show.
