Please view the Farm of the Child Video.

As many of you know, the Farm of the Child is a cause that is very important to me. The Farm of the Child is an orphanage near Trujillo, Honduras. It is located at the edge of the rainforrest. The caribbean sea borders one side of the orphanage and beautiful mountains views border another side. The real beauty of the place is the children living there and the spirit of the volunteers serving them.

I encourage you to visit the website at FarmoftheChild.org to find out more about this incredible organization.

Farm of the Child

As many of you know, the Farm of the Child is a cause that is very important to me. The Farm of the Child is an orphanage near Trujillo, Honduras. It is located at the edge of the rainforrest. The caribbean sea borders one side of the orphanage and beautiful mountains views border another side. The real beauty of the place is the children living there and the spirit of the volunteers serving them. 

The volunteers come mainly from the U.S. and commit to serving 2 and a half years as teachers, medical workers and administrators. They are guided by the pillars of the community, spirituality, simplicity and service. The work done here is a very real and humble example of God at work.

I have served the Farm of the Child for years by producing fundraising and development materials. I was honored two years ago when I was asked to serve on the U.S. board of directors. Trust me, I receive so much more back than I could every give. It is a blessing to me.

I encourage you to visit the website at FarmoftheChild.org to find out more about this incredible organization.


Tim Boatright NOW

Before joining Marketing Associates, Tim was a teenager. He has been with the company for over 20 years, which in our field is virtually unheard of. And quite possibly insane. Actually, before joining the company in 1981 he worked as an art director for a large grocery chain’s in-house advertising department and for another Tampa-based advertising and PR firm.

As Vice President/Creative, Tim works closely with account and creative teams to produce strategic and innovative direct marketing. His work has helped Marketing Associates USA earn hundreds of prestigious honors, including 9 Clios, scores of regional and National Addy Awards.

With over 25 years experience, Tim has worked on everything from major pharmaceutical and telecommunications accounts to the latest internet start-ups. His responsibilities include concept development, creative direction, graphic design, multi media development and as a video producer for a host of corporate clients. He is a graduate of The Art Institute Of Fort Lauderdale, class of 1979, with a degree in advertising.

His experience includes work for brands such as Bellsouth, Pepsico, Pharmacia & Upjohn, Burger King, Johnson & Johnson and Seagram’s.

Tim is married to Julie and they have a young daughter, Alyson and a son, Scott and a Jack Russell terrier named Pablo. When not chauffeuring the kids around, Tim enjoys creating personal artwork, reading and an occasional cigar.
