VALPAK COUPONS - THANK YOU
In an attempt to reach an even larger audience, C.I.S.P.C. has decided to contract with Valpak. Valpak delivers booklets by mail to homes throughout Cape Cod. Inside the booklets C.I.S.P.C. will show their rack card which provides a reminder, SUICIDE IS PREVENTABLE. The ad will also provide our website which has additional resources available. In addition to the ad, Valpak will also be helping to promote our cause through their digital advertising.
Thank you Valpak, for your willingness to help our cause!
