Program |
A
collaborative effort between the HOPE
Foundation and the Discover Phillips County
Project for beautification, attraction,
signage and branding.
An ongoing program for HOPE Foundation with
a 3 year commitment with the Discover
Phillips County Project.
Cost of the banners will be approx. $100.
They are 2' x 5' and made of heavy duty (18
oz.) vinyl and estimated to last a minimum
of three (3) years. In researching some have
lasted up to five years and more. Sign and
Designs out of Hays did the Ellis banners.
We are looking at having Mike Runion of
Glade, Kansas making the signs.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
Each organization, individual or business
will sponsor the cost of the banner and
three (3) years of pledges.
Pledges will be $100 per year.
Banners will be hung on the metal poles in
the downtown area and on Highway 36 near the
downtown area for Phillipsburg. Utility
company will be contacted to get permission
for wooden poles, East and West of the
downtown area on Highway 36 and in towns
where metal poles are not available.
Permission will be sought for all towns in
Phillips County.
Sponsorships will be based on a first come
first serve basis and when they sign up they
get to pick their pole according to the map
we will have made up for the amount of poles
available for each town.
Banners will be made with the Discover
Phillips County Logo, a welcome to each
town, and with the sponsor name on the
bottom of each banner.
If demand is greater than expected, then
permission will be sought in advance to
replace trash receptacles on the metal poles
around the town square and/or new benches in
the storefronts of downtown area, around the
square, park or anywhere the cities feels a
need for those.
Other sponsorships could be considered based
on the availability of poles and the needs
of each town separately. Poles may not be
available for all towns so we will take that
into consideration for sponsorships when
discussing this project with each town. City
Councils may have suggestions and ideas for
their own towns. We have to be open to those
ideas and accommodate each town
individually.
WHO BENEFITS
Each sponsor will have their name on the
banners as part of advertisement. Each
sponsor will contribute a valuable part to
the beautification, attraction, signage and
branding for the Discover PC Project. Their
pledge will also support this Discover PC in
future endeavors towards making this project
a success. Each sponsor that pledges will
also be supporting the Phillipsburg
Community Building, for the first three (3)
years, on behalf of HOPE Foundation.
For the first three (3) years, pledges will
be equally split and placed into HOPE
Foundation and a fund will be established
for Discover Phillips County Project.
This will be an on going project for the
HOPE Foundation and the board of HOPE
Foundation will decide after the first three
(3) years as to what organizations, groups
or projects benefit from the following years
of the banner program.
Pledges will be considered a contribution to
a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt
organization, so pledges may be tax
deductible, please consult your income tax
professional.
