Porter Novelli’s Sonia Sroka and Jennifer Vasquez (bottom right) rang the opening bell today at the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square along with TORCH (Together Our Resources Can Help), an organization dedicated to helping underserved New York City public high school students by providing career training and opportunities in communications and the arts. TORCH was there as part of MADMEDIAGROUP’s “FOR JUST ONE DAY” Campaign with Onboard Informatics. Last December, Porter Novelli was recognized for its work with TORCH and won the “Best PR Firm Community Initiative” award at PRWeek’s first annual Diversity Distinction in PR Awards.

Sonia is a member of the board of directors of TORCH and Jennifer is a graduate of the program.
