Fund-raising - Tontogany, Ohio, United States
Oak Leaf Productions LLC (501C3) is a nonprofit organization designed to protect and promote the Platinum Filament 5K Costume Run. The main objective of the Platinum Filament Halloween 5k Costume Run is to create a family friendly event that will draw a wide market to raise awareness for developmental disabilities through the recognition of direct support professionals. Without caring mentors who inspire a transformational experience, the growth and learning for individuals with developmental disabilities are difficult to achieve in this unique culture. The Platinum Filament name has been inspired by Mike, a participant with autism who passed away. He found motivation in his life through his enjoyment of light bulbs. The words, light bulb, were among the few words in his vocabulary. The platinum filament is the tungsten wire inside of a light bulb, through which an electric current is passed. Our goal is to turn this 5k into an annual event. This is a building year for the organization to raise seed money and donate proceeds to providers who employ direct support professionals. Predominately, Medicaid is the primary funding source for most providers. Over the years, the funding has decreased while needs have increased. Our goal is to fund a program that will assist in the development and retention of direct support professionals. We aim to help narrow the gap that exists between the true cost to provide quality care and the amount of funding that is received. We love our individuals with developmental disabilities and deeply appreciate the care that direct support professionals give. We're currently looking for sponsors who would be willing to help us fund the event. Can we count on you to donate from these categories: Platinum Sponsors $500 and up, Gold Sponsors $100-$250, Silver Sponsors $50-$100. We are also inviting you to participate in our trunk-or-treat to promote your organization. As a thank-you for your generosity, we would like to offer positive public relations and a boost in business. Our plan is to network to ensure your brand is properly represented by placing your logo on t-shirts, banners, signage, newsletters, print and web ads, radio spots, tweets, Facebook posts, and email campaigns. Sponsors will get VIP tickets to all events. Above all, we keep our lines of communication open and would love to hear your ideas.We hope that we can count on you to help us make the Platinum Filament 5k Costume Run and Trunk-or-Treat a successful event!Please contact us with inquiries about donations.
