RALLY FOR THE KIDS! …a little wine, jazz and cars under the stars!
Event Fact Sheet
Purpose
The purpose of the RALLY FOR THE KIDS! Event is to develop community awareness, bring positive public attention, and raise essential funds for the KIDS SPORTS STARS Program which is “Powered by the Azimuth Foundation”. Additionally, the event will recognize KIDS SPORTS STARS Ambassadors, event sponsors and supporters as well as some of the kids themselves.
Who Benefits
KIDS SPORTS STARS programs are targeted at motivating and educating kids to adopt more active, healthy lifestyles, through sports and fitness. Azimuth Foundation funds these programs to help each kid become a “star” by reaching their own potential through the power of sports. To date, over 1000 kids have been impacted by the programs. Current program results include: 50% reduction in aggressive behavior and 60% increase in self esteem for the summer girls program; 53% of the 326 inner city school children completed the walk/run marathon challenge over the four months with their families; both the kids and their parents reported that they were more active after the program than before.
Objectives
Maximize funds raised through underwriting sponsorships, local business donations and premium silent/live auction items and raffle items.
Introduce Azimuth Foundation and its KIDS SPORTS STARS Program to a new audience (local car clubs and car enthusiasts) while boosting the overall general awareness of its mission and program impact.
