I have an appointment with a radio station tomorrow. The program director seems genuinely enthused about the Portraits of Hope project. He even said there may be an event coming up in late Spring that they could tie it to and kick it off. That's what I'm praying for. Please join me in this. Pray that they really will catch the vision for it and get on board to help launch it.
With radio backing it, it will increase the value of supporting it. Local businesses who contribute will not only get recognition in the display and promotions that I do on Facebook, blog, and Twitter, but also in the radio promotions. They will be able to view it as a more effective advertising expense, and write it off on their taxes that way as well. This should help them feel more free to contribute, which will make the project a more effective fund-raiser.
In addition, if it can be tied to a specific event, and the launch of the project be highly promoted through a medium such as radio, it will make it even more appealing to area business and maybe even malls, to set up the display in their business and promote the fact that the display is now at their location. It should draw traffic into and benefit their business. And, since I will donate a portion of the proceeds from any portrait sessions booked from the public display of the photos, that will make it an on-going fund-raiser. I really want to give cancer as big of a kick in the teeth as I possibly can. So, I'm really praying the pieces of this project all come together to make it as big and successful as it possibly can be.
