OUR STORY
The concept of Emerald Owl Productions, Inc. was formed by middle school students in North Carolina who wanted to give back and make a difference in the days just after 9/11/2001. The students had three ideas that all proved to be true:
1) Students need more fun, safe, interactive experiences.
2) If students are provided a meaningful way to get involved and feel they matter, they will respond.
3) These experiences create great memories, teach valuable lessons, and can be fantastic fundraisers.
These ideas led to the creation of a Dance Marathon Laser Show at their school, which stemmed from the Penn State University THON, the largest student-run charity event in the world! Many universities across the nation have Dance Marathons to raise funds for a variety of causes. From our nation's largest tragedy was born generations of adolescents wanting to make a positive difference, give back to others, and find a purpose in their lives.
Over a span of 13 years and under our leadership, middle school students raised $151,199.72 PROFIT for various charities We learned that an event can be more fulfilling and fun than selling products for a cause. Since the Penn State Dance Marathon began in 1973, dance marathons have started at universities, high schools, and middle schools throughout the country. Not only is the Dance Marathon model results oriented, it also gives those involved an opportunity to give back while having fun at the same time. Given the success of the concept at schools of all sizes and age groups, we believe Emerald Owl Productions, Inc. presents a solution to local needs by bringing fun and safe entertainment to you, while giving back to local organizations.
Emerald Owl Productions was created to keep the vision of so many youth alive by spreading the gift of service to others.
EMERALD OWL PRODUCTIONS, INC: Opened in 2015
There are not sufficient entertainment options for young people, especially at night. EOP started with the vision of creating a fun and safe environment for people to interact together. We want to bring back experiences that encourage positive social interactions. Technology has made it easy for people to communicate digitally, but not in person. When we were kids, we got together nearly every weekend, whether it be roller skating, the amusement park, the swimming pool, or school dances. Emerald Owl Productions uses technology to bring people together again!
EOP does this by providing the best possible production value, giving consumers a superior quality experience. We want to be the people you call when you want something special, when you want your guests to leave with a lasting memory.
