Concept
All local sports and cultural organizations coming together in a centralized location to provide an information and sign-up events.
Objective
With youth and adult participation in organized activities on a continual decline for all ages, Having a centralized location where families or individuals can speak to the program coordinators in person will create excitement and showcase new activity opportunities families may not have known about previously. By combining the marketing effort of groups, we guarantee our own success at a far lower cost than could be achieved by each organization independently.
Reason for Event
Planning, budgeting and reserving marketing resources for organizational growth, branding, and labor can become a large time commitment and focus for many organizations. By combining the best of our groups, we provide this at a larger scale than any one group can achieve. In addition, we can refocus our volunteer man-hours selling our programs directly to families and children. Less work, less money and more results for our organizations.
Future
If these events continue to be successful, there may be other fund-raising and marketing opportunities available to the groups that our larger size and volunteer base can bring about. Our goal is to reduce volunteer hours for all groups involved by facilitating knowledge transfer and enhancing cooperation between groups. Other auxilariy savings might include video cameras, computer, printers, copiers, and support staff helping further reduce our operation costs. One group has offerred the use of its 45ppm high speed black/white network printer. Another group has offerred its video camera used for live broadcasts of events and its expertise to help groups with their local events. That is the hope for the future as more groups come forward and share other resources. The MedHatActive movement with the help of our city becomes the clearing house for various activities/groups to share resources with greater input and control for our groups.
Feedback
The first and most important question is whether this is something your organization would like to be part of. There shouldn't be any reasons why not - access to thousands of people for what we plan to keep under $30 per organization, and there will be NO up-front cost! We look forward to any questions you may have, and if you wish to get signed up straight away, please go to register.MedHatActive.com to register your organization or www.MedHatActive.com to learn more!
