Alex Hayden - Desolation GraphiX
 Alex internalized our vision of a logo, and with his great artistic abilities, turned it into reality. Alex also utilized the logo artwork he created for us to build a complete corporate identity package. What is so important to us, as a non-profit business, is that Alex captured our mission within the logo and that will help get our statement across to anyone that sees it.
University of LaVern MBA Program
Dr. E. Forrest Boyd's MBA class from the University of LaVerne, Vivian Ross, Dan Carrison, Michael Langston, and Mohamed Afandi, adopted RisingTides as part of their Marketing course. This outstanding MBA class was able to understand RisingTide’s current situation and provide a focused step-by-step Maketing Plan. The Marketing Plan they created provided significant improvements to the Executive Summary along with creative and useful ideas for fundraising, competitive analysis, restraints, program development, and a detailed budget to direct our efforts in marketing and fundraising.
