Cause-Related Marketing: a Critical Look at Marketplace Meeting
Running head: CAUSE-RELATED MARKETING 1 Cause-related Marketing A Critical Look at Marketplace Meeting Philanthropy Lindsey Winneroski A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2015 CAUSE-RELATED MARKETING 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ George Young, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Amy Bonebright, M.A. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date CAUSE-RELATED MARKETING 3 Abstract The following discussion offers a critical look at cause-related marketing (CRM), a strategic partnership between a corporate and nonprofit entity in which a portion of product sales, or a one-time donation, is given in support of a cause. CRM is an extension of a corporation’s social responsibility efforts in a push to meet increasing consumer demand for organizational accountability and social-consciousness. The discussion examines factors that have fed the mandate for corporate social responsibility, including a connection through online platforms and a generational cohort with a demand to “give back.” Research shows benefits of implementing CRM; however, many ethical issues must be considered when organizations attempt to blend for-profit motives with altruism. CRM and its impact on the definition of philanthropy will be evaluated through the investigation of two campaigns—the Susan G. Komen Pink Campaign and the ALS ice bucket challenge. CAUSE-RELATED MARKETING 4 Cause-related Marketing A Critical Look at Marketplace Meeting Philanthropy In today’s marketplace, consumers expect businesses not only to meet individuals’ needs through products or services but also to be socially responsible by giving back to society.

It ended up becoming an all-encompassing, sometimes frustrating, but always exhilarating labor of love that consumed more years than I’d care to divulge.

Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Nancy Brinker Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith November 19, 2010
Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Nancy Brinker Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith November 19, 2010 Smith: Thank you very much for doing this. You obviously have a remarkable story in your own right. How did your path cross with that of Betty Ford. Brinker: Well, you know, after my sister died, or as we went through the journey of her very unsuccessful end with breast cancer— Smith: How long was she ill? Brinker: She was diagnosed in 1977 at the end of the year, I think it was, and she died in 1980 at the age of 36. I’ll never forget it. In a lot of ways, it was as if it were yesterday. In fact, I just wrote a book about it, Promise Me, which has a picture of Mrs. Ford in it. So, you know, in those days, cancer was “The Big C,” it was spoken of in whispers. People crossed the streets sometimes when they saw my sister. We lived in Peoria, Illinois and we know there was cancer there, being in hospitals. Still it was nothing like it is today. People were much less willing to address these issues out loud. Smith: Was there even more of the stigma, if that’s the word, attached to breast cancer? Brinker: Yes, of course, even though it was “The Big C,” that was usually lung cancer or maybe an intestinal cancer. But when it came to breast cancer, it was even worse. It was more hidden in the shadows. You couldn’t print the word ‘breast’ in most newspapers or magazines and certainly couldn’t use the words on TV or radio.

This extraordinary achievement was completed over nine years with 10 million dollars of funding. The NWHF is eager to embrace the opportunities enabled by this new, expansive space, including honoring the importance and sense of “place” that Seneca Falls and the Erie Canal system have played in the history of the economic, social, and human rights movements of the United States of America.
