WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR
John Hall has made 100s of school presentations over the last two years and has received incredibly positive responses to his 'Power of Please' program.  He has worked with numerous teachers and 1000s of students, showing them how using good manners will help them get along better with others.

WHAT'S NEXT
Now we're ready to do a video version of the 'Power of Please' - and we're going to give it to 100 schools to try out.  The cost of this pilot program is $500 per school.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Please sponsor one or more of these Schools.  You may be able to sponsor two, three or even 10 schools. Some of you may want to go together with friends, a club, a youth group or a PTO to sponsor a school.  Every contribution regardless of the amount will sponsor one of these schools.     

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT
Here's the bottom line: when you sponsor one or more of these pilot schools you will be helping to start a Manners Movement in America.  And that's a gift that really will last for geneartions to come.

Thank you in advance for your generosity – and for caring about our children.

Because Good Manners really are a Good Thing – for everybody.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?

Q: Is $500 the minimum I can contribute? 
A: No.  All contributions regardless of the amount will help in sponsoring a pilot program school.

Q: How are the 100 pilot schools picked?
A: Most of the pilot schools will be schools that Mr. Hall has previously visited.

Q: May I request a particular school to be one of the 100 pilot schools?
A: Yes, you certainly may.  We reserve the right to make the final selection based
    on size, location, grade levels and approval of the school administration.

Q: What will my contribution be used for?
A: Production of a video for the 'POP' Pilot Program will be the single largest expense.  There will also expenses for marketing,  promotion, travel and program evaluation.

Q: Will I or my group receive recognition for sponsoring a school?
A: Absolutely!  Whether you request a particular school or we assign a school, it
    will be our great privilege to let each school know exactly who made it possible
    for them to be part of the 'POP' pilot program.

Q: Is there any way I can be involved with 'POP' in my community?
A: Yes!  The more attention 'POP' gets in a school, in a community, in the media,
    the more positive momentum the program will have.  Your enthusiasm will be
    much appreciated! 

Q: Do I get a tax deduction for sponsoring a school?
A: No.  Increasingly complex government regulations for charitable contributions
    have made this very difficult.  We feel the long term benefit that the 'Power of
    Please' will have for American children is a very good reward for sponsoring a school.
