Charlotte Hall, MD– On May 13, 2016, The Promise Resource Center (PRC) will bring awareness to early intervention and children’s mental health through a classic drive-in movie event, complete with a huge 40’ movie screen, AM/FM radio transmitters, and drive-in style parking. The family-friendly evening will also include dinner and dessert concessions, as well as pre-movie entertainment from favorite local bands and personalities, crafts, games, and a moon bounce.
PRC is offering several sponsorship tiers for businesses and individuals in southern Maryland who are interested in showing their support for childhood mental health concerns. Each sponsor will be offered marketing opportunities including major roadway signage (Rt. 5) near event, social media promotions, and exclusive exhibitor/vending tables. Sponsorship levels range from $25 to $2,500. The event will be promoted throughout the tri-county region, thus attracting families from all over southern Maryland.
PRC would like to extend an offer to other organizations who hold a special interest in supporting the development of young children, to become exhibitors at the event. They may set up tables with age-appropriate activities focused on social/emotional skills and learning. For more information on becoming an exhibitor, call (301) 290-0040.
Funds raised above expenses for the event will support Project First Choice, the grant-funded program that helps families in southern Maryland who have young children that are experiencing social and emotional or behavior concerns. Nearly 80% of youth in need of mental health services do not receive them. Often these are children who have special needs, who speak English as a second language, or are living in low-income households.
The Promise Center’s Drive-In Family Movie Event will take place at the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds in Leonardtown, Md. For specific date and time information, or to sponsor this event, contact PRC at (301) 290-0040 or visit their website at www.thepromisecenter.org/drivein.
