The Beginning

So it is January 19th. I am making initial contact with our client today. I will be working with Grant Eason on the Legacy Project. We have good complementary skills and have worked well together in multiple facets in the past. We should be able to recruit some help from others as we go and be able to lead a team to a successful project. We hope to be working with nonPareil Institute based out of Plano. They work with people with Autism in a variety of ways and have a vision for the future that needs help to accomplish. I will be seeking to make the initial contact today. On Friday Grant and I can hopefully be in contact with them again to discuss more about their needs and our abilities. The semester is picking up quickly so we need to get a roll on this.

  1. Sounds interesting...what do you have in mind to do with them? My wife and I have close friends with an adult daughter who is severely autistic...I'll be interested to see how your project plays out.

  2. We are not sure what they need. At the moment we are thinking some sort of fundraiser or an event to help them raise money for their institute. Maybe host a donor event to raise money and awareness to really give them a boost to continue their amazing ideas. Maybe something where we contact several major leaders in the area to come learn about what they are doing so they can advocate and donate. Like a listen/dinner/donate/advocate, type of event?

    Do you have any ideas or recommendations?

  3. Probably best to talk with them about what they need, and the best ways to go about securing it. Knowing more about who you want to advocate to, and where you expect donations (of money, time, or other resources) to come from, will help you to choose the right venue.
