WHAT IS INCLUDED?
THE INTANGIBLES
Educators founded EOP, so we have a solid understand of what schools need and what they deal with on a day to day basis. Most school personnel agree:
* The Intangibles are real and they are important.
* Kids get into trouble more often when they are bored and unstructured.
* Technology has caused less physical activity, social, and personal interactions.
* Students who do not excel in sports or the arts often feel they have nothing to contribute to their school.
* Most fundraisers are high work output for staff and volunteers.
* Fundraisers often become stagnant with no annual growth, or sometimes even decline.
We take your fundraising experience to a new level by doing 8 major things for you:
1) EMPHASIS ON IMPORTANCE OF PLAY:

We take your fundraising experience to a new level by doing 8 major things for you:
1) EMPHASIS ON IMPORTANCE OF PLAY:
We find that when given the opportunity in the right circumstances, kids of all ages (and even some adults!!!) still enjoy being kids! Whether it be a laser light glow party, glow in the dark dodgeball or basketball, dumping slime on a best friend or favorite teacher, or getting into the middle of a soaking water battle, kids respond well to the chance to play. An important element of a healthy lifestyle is to work hard and play hard. EOP helps you teach this valuable lesson to your students....and your staff!
2) EDUCATIONAL COMPONENTS:
STEM:
A beautiful laser light show might be the best example of how science and art are used together. There are many STEM education experiences that we will share with your students and even include a hands-on demonstration when we talk about "THE SCIENCE BEHIND YOUR PARTY"
1) What is a Laser and How Does it Work?
2) Why Do The Lasers Need Fog To Look Great?
3) Why Do UV Lights Make Me Glow in the Dark?
Not only is this a great lesson about how science and the arts are used in real life, this component will likely create excitement and anticipation for your actual fundraising event ---- thus increasing your attendance and your bottom line!
Business Education:
And that is NOT ALL! Our "Sea Mist" program highlights "The Business of Making Slime," which shares behind the scenes day to day decisions that go into managing a small business, as well as the characteristics of a successful business owner.
Sea Mist = Student Entrepreneurship: Accountability, Management, Integrity, Innovation, Service, Tradition
We will touch on all of these facets and why they are all important to being a successful business leader.
3) SUPERIOR & PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR PARTICIPANTS:
We take the quality and value of your fundraiser event to a professional level. While this might sound costly at first, it actually creates an opportunity for HIGHER profits because:
* A superior experience encourages MORE PARTICIPATION over time. Word spreads that the event is "legit." Students AND staff want to attend each year!
Students report our incentives add even more fun to the overall EOP Experience. Glow in the dark dodgeball, basketball, kickball, etc, can be inside, while foam parties, water battles, and Slime Time can be done outside!
Check out some of these incentives HERE
4) OUR GUIDANCE & EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD:
Our 18 years experience of planning events in schools helps us guide you. You never feel like you have to reinvent the wheel. We share what has and has not worked at other schools . You can then make INFORMED decisions that are best for your school. We basically provide an event planner and sponsorship consultant to help you plan your fundraiser from start to finish.
5) WE WILL WORK ON A PERCENTAGE:
While a fixed rate is an option with EOP, we offer schools the opportunity to work on a sliding scale percentage. This means the more money your students raise, the higher your percentage climbs! A middle school in Goldsboro, NC raised nearly $11,000 profit with EOP, a 105% increase from the $5,000 the school normally makes selling products.
Our goal is that your profits are higher with EOP than without us! Sure you can do an event by yourself and spend less, however, it is the professional and high quality experience that brings in higher pledges and keeps people coming back. Working with us is an INVESTMENT in your fundraiser. It gets easier each year as you learn what works for your school and people become familiar with the concept. And unlike most investments, you do not have to pay anything upfront! It is financially RISK FREE to try EOP!
So WHY do we offer this option? How does this benefit EOP? To put it simply, we believe in our process. Money is raised via an epic event as opposed to selling products. The data clearly shows that over time, this model works and everyone wins.

6) LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE:
We have devised a curriculum for student leaders to help manage this event at your school. Is there any better hands on learning when your students help plan an actual fundraising event with the proper adult oversight? Our experience provides unique student leadership opportunities, such as:
* Budget Management
* Event Logistics
* Marketing & Advertising (Signs, Commercials, Social Media)
* Activities & Entertainment Development
* Interview Training With Business Owners To Obtain Sponsorship
* Event Theme Items & Decorations,
If interested, Emerald Owl Productions will help you start these opportunities at your school. We find that giving students leadership opportunities increases their ownership in the event, which in turn, increases participation and your bottom line.
7) DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS:
When the event is over, we encourage students and staff to complete a brief computer survey about their experience. This feedback helps us build future events at your school, using data that comes straight from the participants!

8) WE UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS:
It is important to have realistic expectations in the first year. Most great events have humble beginnings and experience growth after the first year. This makes sense. There may be skepticism in the first year. Students, staff, and parents are not used to a professional quality experience at their school. Once people realize the quality of an EOP Experience, it gets easier each year.
This is why we are looking for partners.....together, we build an event that will become an annual tradition at your school, becoming easy to organize, and will leave your students and staff with memories that last forever.....and we have the data to prove it works!
