Eve Fries Girls Softball Clinic

PR Campaign
Saturday 19th September, 2026

The Eve Fries Foundation teamed up with professional softball players to give around 75 Chicago girls a free, hands-on clinic. Held in memory of 17-year-old softball player Eve Fries, the event turned her legacy into an opportunity for young athletes to learn directly from players competing at the highest level.

Why it worked: It paired a fresh local news peg—a free clinic with pro athletes and a recent Cubs Charities award—with a powerful memorial human story.

The lesson: Consider tying a free, skill-up event to a recent honor or milestone and a moving personal story; invite credible pros to teach live.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?
