submitted on the ESPN website● NFL players, Eli Manning, Reggie Bush and Tom

Brady are spokespersons for the event● Donations can be made at each exhibit● Submissions close on Dec. 1

Our Game Plan

● Unleash creativity in sports

● Decrease the amount of art programs cut

● Show that art is just as important to have in public education than sports

Teaming up with Fresh Artists● Fresh Artists is a nonprofit organization aiming to save art classes in public schools.● It accepts donations from corporations and individuals to provide art supplies and funding for

art teachers. ● Donors can receive images of artwork that children submit to the organization. ● The images are displayed on its website.

Why team up?

● Art programs are overlooked by sport programs.● They can raise awareness of the issue and encourage the public to fund art programs.● ESPN has a large consumer market and the ability to reach a wide range of people.● Fresh Artists is not nationally recognized and needs more funds to effectively make a

difference.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility“Athletes and artists both express themselves through creativity.

Athletes do this by performing with a team and artists use their imaginations to create masterpieces. Joining forces, these two groups of people can really make a difference.”

- ESPN President, John Skipper

Our Analysis● Opportunity to show our dedication and care for adolescents on more than a physical level● Targeting public schools, public school officials and parents to emphasize the importance of
