Thank you Blue Vase Marketing for celebrating local causes

I want to thank Michael Alden and the employees of Blue Vase Marketing in Beverly.  When Michael Alden’s new book, Ask More, Get More, launched last week, he appropriately threw a celebration for his friends and colleagues at Tupper Manor in Beverly. 

Despite the afternoon snowstorm, the atmosphere was warm and celebratory--I was honored to be a part of the party!  Michael not only launched a new book, but took time to recognize local causes that are making a difference by ensuring his party also raised funds for the North Shore United Way.  Blue Vase Marketing underwrote the costs of the party so that 100% of ticket sales and the auction of a painting that was created live at the event benefited North Shore United Way.

Readers may know that Michael was born and raised in Beverly. He has become one of America’s most popular Direct Response hosts and TV personalities.  He opened Blue Vase Marketing in the Beverly Cummings Center in February 2009 and is the President & CEO. His new book shares personal stories of growing up in Beverly as well as his personal tips and techniques on how to earn more, save more and essentially live more, by applying his principles.

As a child, Michael was mentored by his football coach.  He and his family benefited from camperships at the North Shore YMCA and help from Beverly Bootstraps.  Because of the generosity of many on the North Shore, NSUW has been able to provide grants to support critical projects at these two organizations and dozens of others.  These grants transform the lives of children and youth, improve financial security, and make our communities stronger. Michael has found numerous ways to give back and I want to publically recognize and thank him and his employees for all they do.
