“This year Dana and I along with a team of five other persons collaborated on a Retirement Tribute Dinner to be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center for the long time labor leader, Samuel Staten, Sr.  Dana served as coordinator of the many tasks involved including meetings, invitations, program booklets, entertainment, dignitaries, and the list continued on.  The bottom line: in just over three months, over 800 people attended the vent and over $200,000 was raised, with proceeds going to various charities.  Dana has excellent organizing and communication skills.  She has a winning approach to her work and in a shirt time working with her you know that your event will be a success.  She encourages collaboration and draws the best out of every member of the team and shares successes.  While she’s involved with every detail, she knows how to delegate to the person who is likely to get the best results.  If I had but three words to describe Dana Brady and her work, the words efficiency, reliability and integrity would do it best.” - Anthony Lewis, Consultant

“Dana Brady, of Blackman Brady Communications, is an invaluable resource for any non-profit looking for assistance in meeting fundraising goals.” - Nancy Diebert, President, Board of Directors, Jenkintown Day Nursery

“When my Board first suggested a golf outing as a fund raiser for our 100th Anniversary, I doubted that we could pull it off.  I was probably right, except we hired Dana Brady and the event turned out to be an overwhelming success.  Dana provided excellent service with reliable delivery.  She was professional, experienced and customized the event to meet our satisfaction.  Dana pushed herself and she pushed the team I had assigned to assist her.  We were all surprised that an event that we had conceived only four months before raised $45,000.  We immediately hired her for the 2nd golf outing, in 2010, which also turned out very successful.” - Anthony Lewis, Executive Director, Housing Association of Delaware Valley

“Ms. Blackman Brady successfully coordinated all media and event management in December 2007 when I took my Judicial Oath as Judge of Philadelphia Municipal Court.  Ms. Blackman Brady’s enthusiasm and intellect helped to create a highly successful event the exceeded expectations.  Her work brought multiple media outlets, dignitaries and attendees to the event resulting in significant targeted coverage.  Ms. Blackman Brady is a professional who wins the respect of others through her integrity and unwavering desire to see her clients succeed.” - Jacquelyn Frazier-Lyde, MC Judge

“Ms. Brady’s work along with our Board and planning committee has allowed the Laborers’ District Council Charity Fund’s Annual Golf Classic to raise over 1.3 million dollars to be distributed to multiple charitable causes in its 11 year history.  Ms. Brady always keeps the committee on track and informed.  She listens and integrates requests and suggestions in a streamlined manner.  Her work consistently provides press coverage generating increased fundraising and recognition.  Ms. Brady’s energetic and creative work with the Qaid Staten Memorial Scholarship Fund has been truly innovative.  In July 2010, Ms. Brady managed “A Tribute to Samuel Staten, Sr.” at the PA Convention Center.  This was a fundraising event in honor of my retirement.  I was amazed at her ability to manage an event of almost 1,000 attendees, including dignitaries, politicians, celebrities, media and labor officials.  Ms. Brady secured the attendance of African American recording artists T.I. and Lisa Raye McCoy.  This led to national coverage in Essence Magazine.” - Samuel Staten, Sr., Retired Business Manage, Laborers’ Local 332; Retired Secretary Treasurer, Laborers’ District Council; Committee Member, Qaid Staten Memorial Scholarship Fund 

“Blackman Brady Communications helped me launch MamasLittleHelper.org. I hired Dana to do my first press release. Within 24 hours she had secured media coverage for my launch. My site doubled it’s hits overnight and I signed several advertisers from that publicity. She is very articulate and has an eye for what people want to see. Having a PR person really helped me take my business to the next level. I can’t recommend Dana enough. Thank you for helping Mama’s Little Helper.” - Christina Glen, Founder of Mama’s Little Helper
