My solution, NIFTY (News, Individuals, Families, Teams, and You), is designed to broadcast information about the 5K to a wide variety of previously overlooked audiences. To maximize the digital and print footprint of this fundraiser, I wrote a press release, created an Instagram reel highlight, designed posters and coloring sheets, and emailed local school track teams. To directly connect with the community, I spoke in-person at a Clay-Platte Trackers meeting, scheduled booth spaces at community events, and created a scholarship plan so that children who previously wouldn't have been able to afford that admission fee could attend the event through the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Kansas City.

My solution has already and will continue to increase the number of registered attendees. This provides funding for the Love Fund and allows them to meet the needs of more children, which will have ripple effects both today and for future generations. Additionally, it will involve a larger portion of the population in the fundraising efforts, which goes on to promote their involvement in the future as well as increase the community's knowledge of the Love Fund.
