We have a lot to be thankful for at PsPrint. We have the best customers, who create the coolest designs. In the run-up to Thanksgiving, we’re seeing a variety of print marketing for businesses, nonprofits and events looking to cash in on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
Speaking of running, PsPrint’s hometown of Oakland, Calif., is getting its first-ever Turkey Trot.
“Thanksgiving Day is the no. 1 running day in the world, and Oakland was missing out on being a part of the global celebration,” said Ryan Dawkins, executive director of Oakland Turkey Trot. “So we created a nonprofit foundation and have been building Oakland’s first Thanksgiving Day 5K all year.”
To promote the event, local husband-and-wife team Bryan and Stephanie Mazzarello from Mazzarello Media & Arts designed this eye-catching poster. The 17” x 11” poster is printed on 100 lb. gloss text, which includes a glossy sheen on both sides.
Sponsored by the Oakland Athletics, Kaiser Permanente and Safeway, the Thanksgiving Day race benefits the Alameda County Community Food Bank and Oakland Education Fund. All participants get a custom medal, premium T-shirt, chip timing and tasty snacks provided by Safeway. If you’re interested in joining in on the fun run, register at oaklandturkeytrot.org with code PSPRINT to save $5.

Oakland Animal Services has been printing their annual calendar with us for more than five years. The nonprofit sells the calendars in their shop, with all the proceeds benefiting their animals.
The calendar was a real team effort. It was designed by shelter volunteer Morgan McGuire, while the cover photo is by Chickpea Photography Studio. Several other photographers donated their services, including Pipi Ray Diamond at Soulful Pet Photography and Nathan Fowle at Oakocalyptic.

Michigan-based nonprofit Teacher’s Pet is a program that connects troubled youth with difficult-to-adopt shelter dogs.

The organization printed these aww-dorable 4” x 6” invitations to their annual fundraising event, the Mistletails Gala. The invitations are printed on our 14-point C2S gloss cover stock, which has a glossy sheen on both sides.
