Welcome Visually Impaired Preschool Services - $250,000 to Build a Preschool for Blind and Visually Impaired Children

Welcome Visually Impaired Preschool Services - $250,000 to Build a Preschool for Blind and Visually Impaired Children 

Goals

• To provide educational services to visually impaired & blind children

 

Overview

VIPS has been serving children who are blind and visually impaired for 25 years in KY. There are two offices- Louisville and Lexington. Our teachers travel most of the state to provide therapy and education to the children in their homes. Lexington's sister office started a preschool program to provide more services for their children with visual impairments. This state of the art facility is not only used for the preschool but also provides programs for children birth to three that are visually impaired. We, in the Lexington location, want to do the same for our children. The problem is our current building will not house a licensed preschool. To see our dream come true to offer more programs and services to children in the Central and Eastern areas of KY we will need to move to another facility. With your help, this new facility will provide children with an enriched educational environment that will meet their needs for hands on learning and meeting their developmental milestones.

How will the 250K be Used?
Budget Notes: This Budget will not cover overhead cost for our program. We receive most of our funding through fund raising and grants. The money awarded to us from Pepsi will strictly be used to obtain a new facility and start fund raising for the preschool. Estimate cost for facility, 1 million.

Meet Columbia Youth Basketball Association - Help Build a Youth Multi-sport complex for all kids in Boone County!

Goals

• To construct a four court multi-sports facility to help disabled kids and keep healthy kids healthy

 

 

Overview

CYBA is Building for the Kids! We have launched a capital campaign to raise 1.5 million dollars to build a 4 court multi sport facility in cooperation with Boone County. With this grant, we will literally build the foundation for the facility which will begin to make our dream a reality! There are no other community gyms in the area for use to the general public with the exception of 1 city court. Local school gyms are at capacity and unavailable for use in the summer and limited during the school year. CYBA stands to gain nothing from this venture except to provide the youth of Boone County a place to participate in organized sports year round. CYBA is operated by and for parents, grandparents, and kids just like YOU! We need you! This grant will  be an amazing asset to our community for more than just basketball. The opportunities are endless with this facility. Please vote for CYBA's Building for the Kids! For more information, visit our web site at http://www.cybball.com

How will the 250K be Used?
Budget Notes: The remaining building costs of $750,000, the flooring, scoreboards, and outside sidewalk.
$ 188,000	foundation material and labor for the foundation
$ 48,000	fundraising expense ( includes fundraisers costs)

Meet Adolescent Center for Talent Development - Provide independent living care for youth released from state custody

Meet ACTD - Provide independent living care for youth released from state custody

Goals

• To develop a proctor care and independent living program.
• To build a sports court for ACTD as a resource for skill development

Overview

We will rent an independent living apartment for youth and hire proctor parents and faculty to teach and implement independent living skills.

Proctor care will provide full time living arrangements for youth in the care of ACTD. This will help ease the youth's transition from a secured living environment to a structured home environment prior to being released to independent living.

The transitional care will focus on teaching youth budgeting, financial management, work management, and caring for their personal living space. ACTD employees will check on youth frequently to ensure they are following through on their commitments and are taking care of their living space. This will help the transition out of state's custody and help youth establish appropriate living skills prior to their release date.

The sports court will serve as a place for the youth to practice and develop their skills in a safe and monitored environment.

How will the 50K be Used?
$ 15,000	Rent and apartment upgrades
$ 20,000	Hire proctor parents and rent an urgent care proctor home
$ 12,000	Sports court
$ 3,000	Incidentals

Meet MedZou Community Health Clinic - Provide critical services for the patients of MedZou Clinic

MedZou Community Health Clinic - Provide critical services for the patients of MedZou Clinic

Goals

• Purchase Critical Diagnostic Services for Patients in Need!

Gallery 

 

Overview

When you search "I have cancer" the first hit is "I have cancer and no health insurance."

The lack of health insurance is a real and devastating reality for many Americans. This reality gets worse when these citizens develop a serious illness. In these cases, the result is usually far from what we are accustomed to on medical TV shows. These patients often "tough it out" until the illness and it's symptoms drive them to an emergency room. By this time, the possibility of achieving a cure is often lost.

During the last two years we have suspected that some of our patients may fall into this category. Confirming these suspicions requires a diagnostic procedure. We cannot afford these without compromising the care we provide to the rest of our patients.

However, these patients still need help. By catching diseases early, MedZou will help these patients take the first step in treatment. We hope that you will support our efforts to bring real solutions to our patients!

Meet Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group - provide free flu shots at 2 day charity event

Meet Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group - provide free flu shots at 2 day charity event

 

 

 Goals

• Provide Free Flu Shots at 2 Day Drive Thru Flu Shot Charity Event
• Provide collection center for coats & donations

Overview

We will provide free flu shots on 2 Saturdays in Octber, 2011. People drive up and get the shot from a trained health care professional without leaving their car and at no charge and with a donation of a new or used clean winter coat to help 7 local charities.
We have helped over 2,000 people every year to avoid the flu with our free flu shots, valued at $30,000 which we sponsor ourselves. The demand is so great that we'd like to do more for those hardest hit by joblessness, foreclosure and financial hardship in our community. With rising costs of the vaccine, we could use help paying for the vaccine, tent rentals and staffing.

Other items collected are gently used garments, shoes, appliances and small furniture which go to COTS, Detroit Rescue Mission Grace Centers of Hope, Latino Family Services, St. Vincent DePaul and the Salvation Army for distribution. The program will take place in our parking lot under the big white tent - rain or shine!

How will the 25K be Used?
$ 22,000	Purchase Flu Vaccine
$ 2,500	Staff
$ 500	Marketing

Overview

Our Foundation is an all volunteer 501c3 comprised of parents of CMV-affected children and leading CMV researchers & clinicians. The first nonprofit established to raise awareness of congenital CMV, we're also the only nonprofit dedicated to financially supporting CMV vaccine research. This Pepsi grant will allow us to make a significant contribution to CMV vaccine research & to produce a PSA for national TV broadcast to raise awareness. A small portion of the grant will also help provide stipends for CMV-affected families to attend our annual conference for support, education & community building. CMV is a common virus that if transmitted to the developing fetus, it attacks the brain, causing terrible damage. CMV is the most common infection at birth! More common than Down Syndrome, EVERY HOUR A CHILD IS DISABLED BY CMV! CMV can cause: death, seizures, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness & more.

How will the 250K be Used?
Budget Notes: The budget does not cover travel expenses to promote the PSA or to organize and attend various public awareness events. These travel costs are covered via private grants/donations.
