Changing Lives and Improving the Community Through Innovation

1 Changing Lives and Improving the Community Through Innovation On October 3, 2015, Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation (FEEF) will host the 12th Annual Phantasy of the Arts at the Fairhope Civic Center in Downtown Fairhope. Phantasy 2015, with co-chairs Lisa Trotter and Heather Middleton, is a fun-filled evening of fundraising and networking featuring Chicago s legendary comedy theatre, The Second City: Improv All Stars. Fresh, fast and always spectacularly funny, The Second City is celebrating 55 years of producing cutting-edge satirical revues and has launched the careers of legends like Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray and more. The Second City comedians will tickle funny bones with their talent, skill and wit all without the aid of scripts or sets. We will utilize new fundraising software that enables guests to raise funds and awareness. We invite you to join us by sponsoring this technology-driven social media networking event. In keeping with FEEF s culture of creative and collaborative work, this event will utilize a peer-to-peer fundraising tool and proven social media networking to increase donations and awareness. Sponsoring a charitable event with a strong social media component provides an unmatched opportunity for companies to expand their reach, introduce an idea or product, and further engage with the community. Invest In Kids. It s A Smart Choice. For almost 20 years, FEEF has promoted innovative and creative learning for Fairhope public school students. The Pelican s Nest Science Lab, FEEF s signature project, continues to offer marine biology education for Fairhope students in grades K-5. FEEF was also instrumental in the construction of Fairhope High School s Black Box Theatre. To date, FEEF and the Fairhope community have invested more than $2 million in your schools. Proceeds from Phantasy of the Arts 2015 will fund enrichment programs including: Expanded art and music opportunities for all Fairhope Elementary students; Hands-on discovery science labs at Fairhope Intermediate and J. Larry Newton Schools; Guitar labs and outdoor education at Fairhope Middle School; and Piano lab, theatre, band, visual arts, and dance at Fairhope High School BOARD OF DIRECTORS Carrie Mackey President Paul Bullington Vice President/Secretary Jep Pollard Treasurer Jennifer Busby Pat Carlton Stephen Davis Anne Frost Kennedy Gary Finch Amy Foley Ashley Gordon Kristi Hagood Erin Hendricks Chuck Huguley Erik Nist John Oldshue Nicole Olmsted Stephen Searcy Carlton Spinks Kathy Sternenberg Lisa Trotter Gretchen Valentine Donna Wegener PHANTASY 2015 COMMITTEE MEMBERS Co-Chairs Lisa Trotter, Heather Middleton Tracy Allen Julie Brown Elizabeth McGriff Eileen Meilunas Sallie Merchant Jeramy Neill Beth Puckett Committee Chairs Carlton Spinks Kathy Sternenberg Kathleen Taupeka Traci Vittitow Jeni Whitehurst Cori Yonge

2 Phantasy of the Arts 2015 will use Swell Fundraising software to expand its donor network. The cornerstone of the Swell platform begins with the Phantasy of the Arts website. The site helps us create a shared experience between attendees and online guests. This experience includes an interactive conversation supported by Facebook, Twitter and Instagram; and Leaderboards displaying the Top Fundraiser and Top Social Media Recruiter. This event site is displayed during the event and serves as a central focus for activity and entertainment. THE DIFFERENCE: Swell s software solution enables the event to reach beyond the walls of the venue by creating a live, crowd funding event where attendees share donation links, photos and posts to raise funds and win the party. By using this software, Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation will redefine the boundaries of an event s reach. THE TOOL: Swell fundraising software (1) Incorporates real-time Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feeds; (2) Manages Event Ticketing and Donations (on site with ipad application and online through the web); and (3) Creates a friendly, crowd funding competition by tracking and displaying attendee fundraising and social media reach on Leaderboards. FOR SPONSORS: Swell provides a most unique platform through which companies can engage guests far beyond traditional print media, programs or signs. Companies can support the work of Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation while simultaneously reaching thousands through social engagement. It s an event built on broad reach and conversation, with corporate sponsors becoming a critical piece of that network.
