Be Cause PR
Giving Your Purpose A Voice
Be Cause PR was founded by Cathy Caplener, aka Caps, in 1997 with a mission to help you define and promote your Purpose story. She believes that we all have a story to tell, and when we are ready to announce it to the world, it is essential to explain our purpose for
Cause and Effect.
​
This is what she calls, Purpose Relations, the new Public Relations.

Cathy is a communications practitioner and entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience who effectively negotiates complex social relationships and environments with a focus on purpose-driven initiatives, technology for good, mental health and wellness, plant-based food, and the wellness of our planet.
