EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

OneLegacy is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives through organ and

tissue donation in the greater Los Angeles area. OneLegacy is committed to being a

trusted tissue recovery organization that works with hospitals, transplant centers and

donation partners. OneLegacy strives to inspire individuals, families, and communities to

save lives as organ and tissue donors. In addition, OneLegacy is committed to

continuously improving the quality of practices, performance, and service to the

community.

OneLegacy is associated with Donate Life and Donate Life California. The OneLegacy

headquarters are in Los Angeles. In addition, OneLegacy has a production building in

Placentia, California. The production team is heavily dedicated and involved in

developing events and programs to raise tissue and organ donation awareness. The

annual events of OneLegacy include the Donate Life Run/Walk event at California State

University, Fullerton and the Rose Parade.

The Donate Life Run/Walk event is a non-competitive event. The event is designed to

educate and inspire the community about organ and tissue donation while benefiting the

OneLegacy Foundation. The Donate Life Run/Walk event is an annual event, which

brings over 12,000 participants. Despite the large number of participants, very few

California State University, Fullerton students attend. In order to increase student

attendance, OneLegacy will need to increase exposure, awareness, advertising and

student involvement on the California State University, Fullerton campus.

In order to advertise on the California State University, Fullerton campus, OneLegacy

must become affiliated with the campus. By implementing a student club/organization,

OneLegacy will be able to utilize the California State University, Fullerton campus

resources. OneLegacy will be able to post flyers, align with the student body marketing

office, and most importantly interact with California State University, Fullerton students.

With the implementation of forming a club, OneLegacy will appoint a faculty/staff

member and five current students.

The process of becoming a club includes completing eight steps before January 2014.

The first step is to seek advisement to establish a new club, followed by recruiting five

2

current students and one part-time/full-time faculty member as the advisor. The next

step includes creating a descriptive constitution about the formal requirements for the

club. After creating a constitution and acquiring members, OneLegacy will then submit

the new club proposal online. Lastly, OneLegacy will wait for recognition status.

By becoming a club on the campus, OneLegacy will be able to increase the marketing

and advertising exposure on the California State University, Fullerton to connect with

current college students. The marketing and advertising techniques include newspaper

advertisements, Student Portal Postings, Titan Student Union message board postings,

Titan Student Union display television postings, access to the campus online calendar,

use of TitanWalk tables, posting flyers and banners on campus, and sidewalk chalking

on the campus.

With the addition of the club and increased marketing efforts on campus, OneLegacy will

be able to increase the involvement with current college students. OneLegacy will be

able to interact with students, which is a prospective market for organ and tissue

donation. By communicating with younger individuals, OneLegacy will be able to

educate and inform individuals about the important benefits and inspirational stories

pertaining to tissue and organ donation. The younger individuals will be able to become

life-long donors and advocates for the cause.

INTRODUCTION

OneLegacy organizes the Donate Life Run/Walk at California State University, Fullerton.

The run/walk is the largest Donate Life event. It was founded by Craig and Kathleen

Hostert in 2003. The Hosterts are former California State University, Fullerton graduates.

The event inspires Southern California individuals to promote organ and tissue donation.

The Donate Life Run/Walk event features an inspiring opening ceremony, a competitive

5 kilometer run and healthy 5 kilometer/1 kilometer walk, followed by family friendly

activities. The run/walk event will benefit the OneLegacy Foundation.

This marketing plan summarizes and informs the environments that surround the Donate

Life Run/Walk at California State University, Fullerton. The plan will examine the

marketing and communication techniques to increase exposure and awareness for

3

OneLegacy. The plan also includes the marketing strategy and marketing tactic for

increasing California State University, Fullerton student attendance.

COMPANY HISTORY

In 1977, OneLegacy was incorporated by Drs. Robert and Rafael Mendez. The original

name of the organization was Southern California Organ procurement and Preservation

Center, Inc. (SCOPPC). The purpose of the organization was to recover kidneys at

hospitals.

In 1983, SCOPPC and all organ procurement organizations (OPO's) in the United States

applied for a designated service area. SCOPPC was designated to Kern, Inyo, San

Bernardino, Riverside, and Tulare countries. In 1991, SCOPPC changed its name to the

Southern California Organ Procurement Center (SCOPC). By the 1990's, the

organization and the industry faced public pressure to meet minimum standards. In

1996, the HCFA (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) required OPO's to meet

or exceed the 75th percentile in performance standards. SCOPC was designated in

Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties.

In 2001, SCOPC changed its name to OneLegacy. The name was changed to better

communicate the value that donation brings to donors, families, and recipients. In 2003,

OneLegacy began to provide recovery services in Kern, Riverside, and San Bernardino

counties. In 2006, OneLegacy became the sole tissue recovery agency for the seven-

county donation service area.

Currently, OneLegacy serves over 215 hospitals. OneLegacy also serves 12 transplant

centers, coroners, and funeral homes. The organization assists over 19 million people in

Los Angeles, Kern, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Venture counties.

The Los Angeles transplant centers include Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Children's

Hospital Los Angeles, City of Hope National Medical Center, Harbor-UCLA Medical

Center, Keck Hospital of USC, Loma Linda University Medical Center, Riverside

Community Hospital, Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center, St. Joseph Medical Center,

St. Vincent Medical Center, and UC Irvine Medical Center. Currently, OneLegacy

employs over 300 individuals who provide a complete range of services required to

4

effectively recover donated organs and tissues, support donor families, and inspire the

diverse communities to donate life.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

OneLegacy is part of a nationwide network of non-profit, federally-designated organ and

tissue recovery agencies. OneLegacy identifies potential donor families and aids

individuals to understand and authorize life-giving organ and tissue donation

(OneLegacy). The organization educates the public about organ and tissue donation.

OneLegacy has developed the OneLegacy Foundation. The foundation saves and heals

lives through donation and transplantation of organs and tissues. The organization

emphasizes research, developed public education, and honors donors whose legacies

live on (OneLegacy Foundation). OneLegacy provides assistance through learning and

sharing. OneLegacy develops new ways to improve outcomes, the skills of clinical

specialists, the training of healthcare professionals to educate patients, and spread

proven donation practices.

OneLegacy improves the skills of clinical specialists by using the OneLegacy Simulation

Center. The Simulation Center is anchored by a high-fidelity simulator designed to train

clinical specialists about the science and art of donor management. OneLegacy

emphasizes training healthcare professionals to educate the patients for further success.

In addition, OneLegacy uses a program called the Explore Transplant. The Explore

Transplant program trains Southern California dialysis providers to help patients make

informed transplant decisions.

OneLegacy emphasizes the process of honoring donors. The donor individuals have

helped save lives by becoming donors. The honor methods used include providing donor

families with ways to honor loved ones, funding hospital-based memorials, celebrating

living donors, and providing resources to transplant recipients.

In addition, OneLegacy utilizes spreading donation practices nationally and

internationally. OneLegacy presents donation awareness through the Donate Life

Walk/Run and Rose Parade float. The organization also emphasizes volunteers and

5

Donate Life ambassadors. Volunteers and ambassadors include donor family members,

transplant recipients, and donation advocates. By spreading positive donation practices,

OneLegacy is able to educate and inform the community about tissue and organ

donation.

Among the unfavorable factors, OneLegacy’s main weakness includes the fact that

contributions and grants made to the organization is not enough. Additionally,

OneLegacy lacks volunteers, donors, and awareness from the community. Finally, the

Donate Life Run/Walk has been at California State University, Fullerton for 13 years and

only a small sample of students attend the event.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

OneLegacy is dedicated to saving lives through organ and tissue donation. According to

OneLegacy’s website, “OneLegacy recovered more than 2,000 combined organ, tissue

and cornea donors in 2012, helping to save and heal more than 67,000 lives in Southern

California, the state and nationwide.” Also according to OrganDonor.gov, “More than

28,000 people received liver transplants last year. But every ten minutes, a new name is

added to the waiting list.”

OneLegacy is part of the human services industry. In 2011, OneLegacy created the

OneLegacy foundation to support the mission of OneLegacy. Human service charities

10

provide assistance to adults and children with life threatening illnesses who are in need

of organ and tissue donations. Specifically, the services help to save and heal lives by

aspiring and advancing donation and transplantation through research, public education

and honoring donors whose legacies live on.

As reported on Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator, “Human services

charities fall into six different causes: Children’s and Family Services, Youth

Development, Shelter, and Crisis Services, Food Banks, Food Pantries and Food

Distribution, Multipurpose Human Service Organizations, Homeless Services and Social

Services.” Human Services provide networks of direct services to people in need.

OneLegacy falls into the “Multipurpose Human Service Organizations” category. The

following types of organizations promote volunteerism and provide a broad range of

direct services in the communities in the nation and around the globe. The direct

services include feeding the hungry, strengthening communities, giving shelter to the

homeless, caring for the elderly, and nurturing the young.

stronger budget agenda for the marketing plan. In 2013, the Donate Life Run/Walk event

revenue has totaled $438,452. The revenue is characterized by vendor donations, online

registrations/donations, silent auction, day of registration, and interest income. Online

COMPETITORS IN THE HUMAN SERVICES INDUSTRY

“Not-for-profit” organizations like OneLegacy are not in direct competition with other

organizations like itself. OneLegacy controls the organ and tissue donation process in

most of Southern California, including seven in the greater Los Angeles county area.

The organizations are dedicated to serving a particular area in the state. The most

harmful competitors to OneLegacy are the media and the public. The media and general

public spread misconceptions and rumors about the philosophy of OneLegacy’s program

and how they serve the community. The misconceptions of the program negatively

impact how the public views the organization and how the organization is ran. Ultimately,

misconceptions create a negative view of becoming a donor, leaving the organization

with limited and falsely informed donors in the community.

In today’s media, television shows such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation or Grey's

Anatomy, portray the donation of organs and tissue in a very negative light. The media

infers that hospitals, doctors, and organizations like OneLegacy will do anything possible

to receive donor’s organs and tissues without care to the donor. The negative portrayals

of organ and tissue donations allow the public believe that this is how donor patients are

treated (Hosert). A goal of OneLegacy’s is to better inform the public of its services. A

highly focused misconception is that donors do not receive the best care from health

12

care professionals and determine the donor's best interests. OneLegacy continues to

ensure the public of the accurate philosophy and donation process.

CUSTOMER ANALYSIS

The donors of Donate Life and OneLegacy are the driving force to tissue and organ

donations. In 2012, over 28,000 individuals received organ transplants in a wide range of

ages. The age demographics include 1% were 1 years old, 1% were 1-5 years old, 1%

were 6-10 years old, 2% were 11-17 years old, 11% were 18-34 years old, 23% were

35-49 years old, 44% were 50-64 years old, and 17% were ages 65 years old and older.

In 2012, nearly 62% of the living donors were females while 38% are males, according

to the Donate Life website.

The 2012 demographics of decreased donors include 66% Caucasian, 17% African

Americans, 13% Hispanic/Latino, and 3% Asian and Pacific Islanders. The 2012

demographics of donors on the waiting list include 44% Caucasian, 30% African

American, 18% Hispanic/Latino, and 7% Asian and Pacific Islanders. Caucasians,

African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos poise the highest concerns in terms of

demographics.

According to the OneLegacy website, the organization assists donor families. A donor

family includes any person or group who are connected to the donor. OneLegacy assists

with the Aftercare program which includes:

Bereavement literature Grief support counseling

Referrals Follow-up letter

Telephone calls Donor family gatherings

Events to honor and remember donors

During the grief support process, individuals experience many different emotions and

feelings. OneLegacy reaches out to the families for up to two years to assist them with

the grieving process. Feelings and emotions can range from overwhelmed to keeping

emotions to themselves. OneLegacy Family Care professionals provide resources to

families. The resources include free monthly support groups, Facebook support grief

13

assistance, support grief workshops, support holiday workshops, and individual phone

support.

OneLegacy hosts a free monthly support group. The monthly meetings are at the

Downtown Los Angeles, Inland Empire, Orange County, and Bakersfield offices. The

Downtown Los Angeles and Inland Empire support groups are available from ages three

to adults. The meetings are on one Saturday each month in English and Spanish. The

Orange County support group meetings are offered in English during one Saturday per

month. The Bakersfield support group meetings are short-term weekly meetings and

offered in English or Spanish.

OneLegacy provides on-line support for families using Facebook. The Facebook support

group was launched in June 2011. The greatest ability of the Facebook support group is

the ability to have support 24 hours a day at any location. As of November 2013, over

255 donor family members have joined the Facebook group.

In addition, OneLegacy offers grief support workshops. The workshops are designated

for two holidays which are Dia de Los Muertos and the winter holiday season. The

workshops are opportunity for individuals to gather as a family. The workshops are

offered in both English and Spanish. The families have the ability to make crafts,

projects, and spend quality time together while honoring a donor.

OneLegacy is a powerful and influential organization within the community. OneLegacy

is educating, helping and inspiring individuals. OneLegacy offers support and grief

assistance to help family members cope with the difficult situations. The donors,

recipients, and volunteers allow the organization to continue producing huge strides in

the organ and tissue donation process.

CONTRIBUTOR ANALYSIS

In order for OneLegacy to continue providing organ and tissue donation programs to the

community, contributions from sponsors and donors must be collected. Many recipients

are from low-income households who cannot afford the procedures. OneLegacy must

14

look for donations from the surrounding community and businesses to help the

individuals, which is the main reason for this event.

Donors who would like to become official sponsors for the Donate Life Run/Walk have

four different options. The four different package options include bronze, silver, gold and

platinum.

The first option is the bronze contribution. This donation will cost $1,000. The opportunity

begins with being able to have the name of the donor listed on two 11x17 signs on the

walk route and throughout the venue, a festival tent, four complimentary team member

registrations and an opportunity to provide prizes to participants in the event.

The second option is the silver contribution. This donation will cost $3,500. The

opportunity begins with being able to have the name of the donor listed on four 11x17

signs on the walk route and throughout the venue, a festival tent, six complimentary

team member registrations and an opportunity to provide prizes to participants in the

event. Donors will also receive a logo on 45,000 brochures and a logo on 5,000 event

posters distributed throughout Orange County.

The third option is the gold contribution. This opportunity will cost $7,500. The

opportunity begins with being able to have the name of the donor listed on six 11x17

signs on the walk route and throughout the venue, a festival tent, ten complimentary

team member registrations and an opportunity to provide prizes to participants in the

event. This opportunity also allows for the donor to have a logo on the main stage

banner, inclusion on all press releases, a logo on 45,000 brochures and a logo on 5,000

event posters distributed throughout Orange County.

The forth option is the platinum contribution. This opportunity is $15,000. The opportunity

begins with being able to have the name of the donor listed on eight 11x17 signs on the

walk route and throughout the venue, a festival tent, fifteen complimentary team member

registrations and an opportunity to provide prizes to participants in the event. This

opportunity also allows for the donor to have a logo on the main stage banner, inclusion

on all press releases, a logo on 45,000 brochures and a logo on 5,000 event posters

distributed throughout Orange County. The most special inclusion in this contribution

15

class is the opportunity to be a spokesperson at the opening ceremony and have a logo

on the main stage tower.

OneLegacy also utilizes affected celebrity personalities for further exposure of the

Donate Life Run/Walk event. In particular, KROQ radio personality, Gene "Bean" Baxter

from the Kevin and Bean Show, attended and promoted the event. Recently, Bean gave

a kidney to his co-worker. His co-worker, Scott Mason, has been the station's chief

engineer for the past 30 years. By utilizing celebrity personalities who are affected by

tissue and organ donation, the organization can reach a broader target audience to

educate about the benefits that OneLegacy provides. In addition, OneLegacy can further

promote the cause and gain additional contributors for the event.

TARGET MARKETS

Currently, OneLegacy has four target markets for the organization. The first market is

the donors who assist with donation. The donors assist with organ, eye and tissue

donation. Organ donation includes kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas, and small

intense. The tissues needed include corneas/eyes, heart values, skin, bone, tendons,

cartilage, and veins. By October 2013, over 10,500,000 donors have signed up for organ

and tissue donation in the state of California.

The second market segment is contributors. The contributors assist by investing in the

organization. This target market segment is comprised of individuals and companies

who want to make a difference in the organization. The segment includes volunteers and

brand ambassadors. Many of the individuals have a strong interest in the organization.

The individuals have either been affected, know someone who has been affected or

want to help make a difference.

The third market segment is the community within the seven California counties

OneLegacy serves a large, diverse population of 19 million people with services to

seven counties in the greater Los Angeles area. The seven counties are Los Angeles,

Kern, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. In order to

broaden the range of the counties around the campus, OneLegacy must interact with the

community. OneLegacy can look to local fire and police stations for support of the event.

The community looks up to firefighters and police officers with the dedication and

involvement towards helping others. The community becomes more involved by

connecting with the fire department and police stations.

17

The fourth market segment is current college students at California State University,

Fullerton. The Donate Life Run/Walk event is held on the California State University,

Fullerton campus on Intramural Field. Currently, only a limited number of students attend

the event. The limited number of students includes a few members from the cheer squad

and the baseball team. The potential target market includes sports-based organizations,

volunteers, and current college students.

MARKETING AND PRODUCT OBJECTIVES

OneLegacy’s marketing plan is to increase attendance of current California State

University, Fullerton students as well as increasing exposure for the event on campus.

The objectives are detailed in the following areas below:

A. Current market: The current market will be improved by attracting an increased

number of current college students to the run/walk event. By increasing the number

of college students, OneLegacy and Donate Life will further develop awareness and

exposure to organ and tissue donation. The boost in the number of individuals

attending the event will assist with educating, inspiring and ultimately saving lives of

people within the community.

B. New markets: OneLegacy can become more involved with high schools, junior

colleges, and universities in the Orange County areas. The addition of college and

high school students in Fullerton and in the surrounding cities could further attract

younger generations to the run/walk event.

C. College involvement: The on campus club will provide additional awareness with

California State University, Fullerton students. The advisors will be able to interact

with current college students as well as advertising on campus. The college students

will assist with developing the run/walk event and aligning with a nonprofit

organization. The club will be officially recognized in January 2014.

D. New involvements: The continued advancements in technology and the community

will allow OneLegacy to further educate, inspire, and change lives. The addition of

community outreach and volunteer events can further increase awareness of

18

OneLegacy. With the addition of new events, college students in the club can get

more involved with the organization. In addition, college students can become more

involved in the community and help educate others about tissue and organ donation.

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE

Centered in Southern California, OneLegacy has an edge over the competition. There

are many important differences that include:

A. The opportunity to comfort families in the community

B. Large supply of individuals and professionals to assist with organizing different organ

and tissue donation. The individuals can effectively and efficiently ensure the

donation process

C. The quality of Aftercare programs and grief support options to help and support

families or groups of people

D. Partnership with the Department of Motor Vehicles to ensure that every person who

gets a drivers license has the opportunity to register with Donate Life

E. Community events to bring donor families together to remember loved ones and

support the cause

OPPORTUNITY AND OBJECTIVES

Life is short and full of unexpected events. It is important that individuals are educated

about life-saving decisions before an expected or unexpected event happens. By signing

up for organ and tissue donation early, the family will not have to make the decision for

the individual. The objective of this marketing plan is to help raise awareness and

exposure for the Donate Life Run/Walk event at California State University, Fullerton.

The event will occur on April 26, 2014 at 9:00am. For the past several years, the

OneLegacy Foundation produces a run/walk event at California State University,

Fullerton by Intramural Field. The organization brings thousands of individuals, but not

very many students from California State University, Fullerton attend with the exception

of the cheer squad and a few baseball players. With the event being on the California

State University, Fullerton campus, OneLegacy can increase exposure with the

development of becoming a club on campus. By using marketing and advertising

19

objectives, the club will be integrated with association of the Donate Life Run/Walk

event.

MARKETING STRATEGY

This section will cover the essential components of the marketing mix. The development

of the product, price, promotion, and place is vital in order to convey the correct

message to the organizations' consumers, supporters and contributors.

PRODUCT STRATEGY

OneLegacy offers a wide range of services throughout the six locations in the greater

Los Angeles area. The locations are Orange, Placentia, Los Angeles Wilshire, Los

Angeles Figueroa, Bakersfield, and Redlands. There seven major areas of OneLegacy

focuses are:

1. Evaluation of organ/tissue donor suitability

2. Coordination of organ recovery

3. Organ placement

4. Tissue recover

5. Family support and aftercare

6. Hospital staff education

7. Public education

In order to increase the interest of California State University, Fullerton students,

OneLegacy will implement the development of an on-campus club. By becoming a club

on campus, OneLegacy will be able to inform, educate, and inspire students. The

following California State University, Fullerton club will be implemented in January 2014:

1. OneLegacy Club

With the annual event of the Donate Life Run/Walk at California State University,

Fullerton, OneLegacy will become an official club on campus to further reach college

students. In January 2014, OneLegacy will submit an application form with the

20

student body. The following checklist will be required for OneLegacy to become an

affiliated club:

Step 1: OneLegacy will seek advisement to establish a new club on campus.

Step 2: OneLegacy will recruit five current students to become a part of the

club. The club will consist of a student president and a student treasurer. The

students must have above a 2.0 grade point average. The following three

members will need to be enrolled in at least one class on the campus.

Step 3: OneLegacy will find a full-time/part-time faculty or staff member to be

the club's advisor.

Step 4: OneLegacy will create a constitution for the club. The club articles

include the organization name, purpose, selection of members, meetings,

elections, advisors, and other formal requirements.

Step 5: OneLegacy will determine the organizations' primary focus.

OneLegacy will have to determine the primary category of the organization.

Some categories include special interest, service, and political/social action.

Step 6: OneLegacy will prepare apply the club online by gathering

information. The following information includes the portal username and

password, the organization name, description and category, gather the four

campus email addresses of the principal members, determine meeting and

office information, name the advisor of the club and develop the electronic

copy of the constitution.

Step 7: OneLegacy will apply the club online. The website application

address is www.fullerton.edu/studentclubs. OneLegacy will apply to become

a brand new organization, upload the constitution form, and provide four

email addresses of the current members.

21

Step 8: OneLegacy will wait for recognition status. The constitution will be

reviewed and approved by the Student Life Coordinator. When the club

becomes approved, the president will receive a Recognition Status Approved

email.

After OneLegacy receives a Recognition Status Approved email, the club will be fully

implemented on campus. OneLegacy will be able to increase the marketing and

advertising exposure at California State University, Fullerton.

2. Increased Advertising and Marketing Exposure

By becoming an official club on campus, the marketing and advertising ideas will be

endless. OneLegacy will have the support of the college to further promote the

Donate Life Walk/Run event in April. The marketing and advertising opportunities

include:

A. Newspapers: OneLegacy will be able to utilize newspaper advertising. Many

newspaper affiliates have an event column and will allow a club to advertise

for free. The Daily Titan will be the preferred newspaper as it is the official

California State University, Fullerton newspaper. An events column will appeal

to current students and increase exposure for the Donate Life Walk/Run

event.

B. Student Portal Posting: OneLegacy will also be able to post on the California

State University, Fullerton student portal. All student clubs and organizations

can utilize the student portal for event promotion. OneLegacy will email the

posting request to the Student Organization Resource Center. The email

address is sorc@fullerton.edu. The email subject line must state 'Student

Portal Posting Request'. The request will be processed in five business days.

A student portal posting will be seen by every student who accesses the

portal, which will significantly increase exposure for the Donate Life Run/Walk.

C. Titan Student Union electronic message board and display televisions:

OneLegacy will also utilize the Titan Student Union electronic message board

and Titan Student Union display televisions. OneLegacy already has the

22

application form and will submit the application to the Student Organization

Resource Center marketing office. The electronic message board will display

the event for a maximum of fourteen days. OneLegacy will be able to write a

short message with certain colors. The electronic message board is visible

while walking into the Titan Student Union cafeteria. The message board will

allow for additional exposure for the Donate Life Run/Walk event.

D. Campus online calendar: OneLegacy will advertise the Donate Life

Run/Walk event on the campus online calendar. The online calendar will be on

the www.fullerton.edu website, which is the official website of California State

University, Fullerton. OneLegacy will follow the electronic submission format

outline requirements before sending an email to studentevents@fullerton.edu.

The online calendar will create an online presence for the Donate Life

Run/Walk event.

E. Titan Walk table: OneLegacy will utilize the Titan Walk tables for active

student involvement. In the center of the California State University, Fullerton

campus, OneLegacy will be able to set up a table to interact with students.

The OneLegacy club members or employees will be able to pass out

brochures, pens, and notepads to current students. OneLegacy will submit a

request with the Student Organization Resource Center. The use of the tables

will be free to OneLegacy. The only requirements are the tables may only be

used a maximum of three consecutive days, twelve days in a month and only

two tables per day. The TitanWalk table will further increase exposure and

interaction with current college students.

F. Banners: OneLegacy can design and provide banners on the California

State University, Fullerton campus. OneLegacy will complete a Banner Space

Request Form and submit it to the Student Organization Resource Center.

The banners can be located in Langsdorf Hall, the Education Classroom

Building, the Humanties Building, McCarthy Hall Building, the performing Arts

Hall, the Kinesiology Building, and the Computer Science Building. The

banners can be hung a maximum of two weeks. The banners will increase

advertising efforts on campus.

23

G. Sidewalk chalking: OneLegacy can utilize sidewalk chalking for additional

advertising on the California State University, Fullerton campus. Sidewalk

chalking must be reserved through the Student Organization Resource

Center. The sidewalk chalking locations include the TitanWalk, the central

quad, in front of McCarthy Hall, in front of Humanities, in front of Langsdorf

Hall, in front of Education Class, in front of Engineering and Computer Science

Building, and in front of the Kinesiology Heath Science Building. The spaces

are limited for a two week period and must be removed by the club. The

sidewalk chalking can be a bonding activity for the club members as well as

increase exposure.

PRICE STRATEGY

The primary features utilized to market OneLegacy at California State University,

Fullerton will all be extremely cost effective due to limited funds. The implementation of

the on campus club will be free to OneLegacy. In addition, marketing efforts such as

Student Portal postings, use of the on campus calendar of events, electronic message

board postings, display screens in the Titan Student Union and use of the TitanWalk will

be free.

The only costs for OneLegacy will be for sidewalk chalk, banners, flyers and newspaper

advertising. The marketing efforts will all be cost efficient. Using vinyl banners for

outdoor promotion will range in price depending on the size of the banner. For instance,

a 10-foot by 3-foot banner would cost $75.00 to create and ship to the OneLegacy

location. The expenses of the sidewalk chalking will be a bucket of chalk. Chalk bucket

prices range from $4.00 to $6.00 leaving $5.00 for the average price. The use of flyers

will depend on the quantity and quality. Black and white flyer prices typically range from

$0.10 to $0.20 each while color copies will cost $0.25 to $0.30 each. OneLegacy already

has an allocated budget for brochures and flyers, which will allow the organization to

save money on promotional advertisements.

By becoming an on campus club, newspaper advertising can be free depending on the

event. For additional advertising, the Daily Titan newspaper advertisements range based

24

on sponsorship, inserts in the newspaper, online website advertising, and social media

advertising. Newspaper sponsorship ranges between $550.00 for a full page to $75.00

to a 1/8 page. The Daily Titan online website advertising prices range for $100.00-

$300.00 depending on space. The Daily Titan inserts in newspaper range from $247.50-

$742.00 depending on the unit size. In terms of social media, advertising prices range

from $150.00 to $350.00 depending on posts. OneLegacy should spend $75.00 on a

newspaper advertisement and $150.00 on a social media campaign. The $150.00 social

media campaign will include two Twitter and two Facebook posts about the walk/run

event.

PROMOTION STRATEGY

Three key promotion programs will be utilized by OneLegacy particularly for the Donate

Life Run/Walk at California State University, Fullerton. The promotion programs include

ways to increase social media presence, creation of flyers and the Rose Parade float

promotions.

1. OneLegacy needs to increase its social media presence. OneLegacy has a

Facebook fan page for the Donate Life Run/Walk, but the organization does not

have an Instagram or Twitter page for the event. OneLegacy needs to create

accounts for both of the social media platforms. Social media is the key to gain

student attention and engagement. OneLegacy also needs to continuously

update social media outlets at least once or twice a week. By utilizing brand

awareness on the internet, the community can become more engaged with the

Donate Life Run/Walk website and event.

2. Flyers will be posted around the California State University, Fullerton campus.

Since One Legacy will become a club on campus in January 2014, it will be

easier to market the Donate Life Run/Walk. By becoming a club, flyers can be

placed in numerous locations around the campus rather than just the three

locations for non-club affiliated events. Stakes can be displayed with the Donate

Life Run/Walk flyer around the flower beds near the Pollak Library. The flyers will

increase awareness of the event and provide college students information about

the event.

25

3. Community promotion includes various community events with OneLegacy

promoting the Donate Life Run/Walk event. Community promotion is very

important because it creates word of mouth, which is the most influential and

most popular type of promotion. OneLegacy should become involved in

community events in the cities of Fullerton and Placentia. Members of the

community will be able sign up to volunteer and assist with other various

activities.

DISTRIBUTION (PLACE) STRATEGY

OneLegacy utilizes three different distribution strategies to raise awareness, inspire, and

educate the community about OneLegacy. The first distribution strategy shows how

OneLegacy reaches out to the community. OneLegacy has five offices in the Los

Angeles County area which serve 215 hospitals and 12 transplant centers. The hospitals

and transplant centers are used to help individuals in need of organ and tissue

donations. Ultimately, the hospitals and centers assist with consumer procedures.

The second distribution strategy is OneLegacy’s association with the Donate Life

Run/Walk at California State University, Fullerton. OneLegacy is a Donate Life

organization event due to the countrywide success of the organization. The Placentia

production team develops and organizes specific activities for the various events.

OneLegacy reaches out to donors, donor families, and individuals in the community to

become volunteers and participants in the event. The distribution strategy helps raise

continued awareness and capital for OneLegacy and the OneLegacy Foundation.

The third distribution strategy is OneLegacy's contributors and grantors. OneLegacy

utilizes contributors/grantors to volunteer time and donate money to the organization.

OneLegacy utilizes the donations for donors and consumers. The contributor donations

assist in creating an increased number of events such as the Donate Life Run/Walk, a

comedy show, and the Rose Parade float. Ultimately, the events allow OneLegacy to

inspire the community while raising awareness to the organization.

MARKETING TACTIC

26

Once the club is established in January 2014, flyers will be posted on campus until the

Donate Life Run/Walk event in April 2014. The flyers will be posted throughout the

campus in places such as the Pollak Library, the Mihaylo School of Business and

Economics Building, Langsdorf Hall, University Hall, and the Titan Student Union. The

OneLegacy Club flyer can be seen in the appendix.

Throughout the semester, the OneLegacy Club will have monthly meetings with current

members. The meetings will consist of discussions about ways to promote the club and

the Donate Life Run/Walk. The volunteer center at California State University, Fullerton

can help promote the club and recruit more students to join. The career center can also

post flyers about the new club as well as creating internships to help students. Lastly,

the club can assist current college students who need community service volunteer

hours.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

OneLegacy has increasingly expanded the Donate Life Run/Walk for several years with

great success. In order to maintain a steady growth in participation in the coming years,

OneLegacy will look to the OneLegacy Club for further growth. The OneLegacy Club will

inform campus students and faculty about the event with marketing and advertising

promotions.

Throughout the year, the OneLegacy Club will hold monthly meetings at the Placentia

production building. The monthly meetings will occur on Saturdays. The monthly

meetings will discuss how best to promote the OneLegacy cause as well as how to best

attract future participants to the run/walk. The development of the OneLegacy Club will

allow for a deeper and richer understanding of California State University, Fullerton

students. In addition, the OneLegacy Club will provide the students with a first-hand look

into the non-profit organization.

By interacting with the students, OneLegacy will be able to understand the mindset,

impact, and ideas of current students. There are many misconceptions about organ and

tissue donation. OneLegacy has the ability to correctly inform college students about

27

what exactly the organizations does. In addition, the organization will have the ability to

provide insight into the various impacts of a donor, the donor family and the donor

recipients.

OneLegacy hopes to attract various students with different majors. OneLegacy can

utilize the knowledge and experiences of different students by having different majors.

For instance, OneLegacy would like to have a marketing student who would be able to

use marketing techniques that they have learned to help the club and the event. In

addition, a marketing or communications student can assist with updating the social

media sites with relevant information and inspiring stories. Not only will OneLegacy

benefit, but the student would be able to earn real world marketing experience with a

non-profit organization.

Since the OneLegacy Club will begin in January, OneLegacy will have to monitor the

success of the club on a semester basis. The spring semester is a perfect introduction

for the club since the Donate Life Run/Walk is at the end of April. The club members will

have several months to obtain knowledge about the organization and implement many of

the club abilities for the event. In addition, OneLegacy will provide a discussion meeting

for the current members to determine additional ideas for the following semester. By

monitoring the opinions and ideas of the students, OneLegacy can further expand the

club and determine a successful foundation for the future.

The OneLegacy club will be able to utilize on campus marketing and advertising

techniques. For instance, OneLegacy has the ability to promote themselves in the school

newspaper, post on the Student Portal and post flyers in almost every building on

campus. OneLegacy will perform a specific marketing and advertising technique at each

monthly meeting. By working together on the marketing and advertising promotions, the

members will be able to bond together and network with each other.

In order to monitor the effects of the marketing and advertising efforts, OneLegacy will

need to monitor the participant registration signups and internet traffic. OneLegacy will

be able determine which marketing and advertising efforts are working by seeing an

increase in the member signups. In addition, OneLegacy will look towards internet traffic

for further social media impact. The club will monitor the number of mentions, shares,

28

and likes from the social media outlets. By observing the platforms, OneLegacy will be

able to determine which social media platforms are helping towards raising awareness

within the community.

LIABILITIES AND RISK

The annual Donate Life Run/Walk is a non-competitive event on the California State

University, Fullerton campus. The walk/run is 5 kilometers thorough the campus. It is

very important for participants to be in good physical condition before starting the event.

In addition, participants should partake in prior walking or running to ensure stability

throughout the event. On the day of the Donate Life Run/Walk event, participants are

advised to stretch leg and arm muscles. By stretching before the event, participants will

be able to prevent injuries and risks.

EVALUATION AND CONTROL

In order to evaluate the success of the Donate Life Run/Walk, a measure will be

conducted for the amount of attendees and the amount of people who sign up to be a

donor compared to last year's event. The outcome will show the impact of the event for

the donors and attendees. The results of the evaluation will inform OneLegacy whether

or not they should continue efforts towards marketing college students efforts for the

Donate Life Run/Walk event. The results of any increase in attendees and donors will be

announced to the public. In addition, announcements will be made to members of

OneLegacy’s community. The announcements will create more awareness in the

community and encourage individuals to register for organ and tissue donation.

SUPPORT SUMMARY

Currently, the need for services and education provided by OneLegacy is increasing. In

order to educate individuals about OneLegacy, the organization will need to expand the

education and awareness of the services offered to the California State University,

Fullerton community. The objective of this marketing plan is to help raise attendance and

create exposure with current college students for the Donate Life Run/Walk event at

California State University, Fullerton.

29

Upon approval of implementing the OneLegacy club, OneLegacy will have the

opportunity to increase the marketing and advertising exposure on the campus. The

organization attracts thousands of individuals; however, there are few students from

California State University, Fullerton who actually attend the event. By utilizing marketing

and advertising objectives, the club on campus will be integrated with the Donate Life

Run/Walk event. The implementation of the OneLegacy Club and the marketing efforts

will gain the attention of students at California State University, Fullerton. The Donate

Life Run/Walk is already a huge success. The addition of targeting current college

students will continue to allow the event to be successful.

By becoming affiliated with California State University, Fullerton, the organization will be

able to benefit from a long-term relationship with the campus. The students will gain the

access of knowledge, exposure, and the meaning of OneLegacy's stance towards tissue

and organ donation. Through knowledge and exposure, OneLegacy will attract more

students and members of California State University, Fullerton to participate in the

Donate Life Run/Walk. With a supportive staff and increased marketing efforts, the

organization can successfully affect the lives of individuals in the community. The

organization has positively affected communities through the education and inspiration

of tissue and organ donation. By accepting the organizations' needs, the Donate Life

Run/Walk event will continue to have the capability of creating and maintaining a

position in the California State University, Fullerton campus community.
