Hang Tough - Autism Puzzle Project - Looking for two local businesses to participate
As most of you know, April is Autism Awareness Month and we are gearing up to launch our 2nd annual Autism Puzzle Project! We are reaching out to see if your business is interested in hosting one of our puzzle pieces this year.
Many of you hosted puzzle pieces last year, but in case this is new to you, here is an overview of the project:
Our Hang Tough Heroes on the Autism Spectrum have created artwork that a local printer has transformed into a giant puzzle. The puzzle is broken down into individual pieces that all feature some beautiful hero artwork. Throughout the month of April, we display these puzzle pieces at local businesses around town.
Hang Tough would provide:
·1 Puzzle Piece (No larger that 11"x17") with a display stand
·Rack Cards and Holder (with information on HTF and the project)
·Delivery around April 2nd-5th
·Pickup around April 25th-28th
·Promotion of your business as a hosting site on our social media
Participating Businesses are asked to:
·Proudly display the puzzle piece for approximately three weeks in a visible area
·Post on your social media that you are hosting a piece and encourage people to come see it
·Allow clients/customers to enter your business to find the piece and take pictures
After we collect the individual puzzle pieces, we will be putting the puzzle together for a full reveal on April 29th at the "All About Autism" Resource Fair.
If you are interested in hosting a puzzle piece, please contact Kelley Dettmer. We have about 30 pieces to display and are looking for two more Wakulla businesses to participate, so availability is first come, first served!
