S.T.A.R.T.

S.T.A.R.T. - Pilot Program

Below is what S.T.A.R.T. will provide for its Community Partners as well as what the expectations are for our Community Partners. Working together we will succeed in providing a focus on Childhood Obesity as well as, create a win-win situation that will provide money for worthwhile programs in schools like Best Buddies of Utah or other school specific programs.

What S.T.A.R.T. will provide to its Community Partners:

  • The essence of the program is a noble cause, replacing calories with non-food treats that will raise awareness, help educate both students and parents to the critical issue of Childhood Obesity and to provide sustainability (money) for school programming
  • S.T.A.R.T. will provide communication/service to all individual Community Partners
  • S.T.A.R.T. will provide for the production of products, all media, and shipping/delivery of all necessary material for a successful fundraiser
  • S.T.A.R.T. will provide all partners with a step-by-step procedural handbook on; products, display boards, order forms, how to process orders, redemption, etc.
  • S.T.A.R.T. will provide a defined percentage of sales to the Community Partners, which depending on their responsibilities, is currently projected to be in excess of 40% of sale

What Community Partners are committing to do for S.T.A.R.T.

  • Our Community Partner will provide a single contact person to coordinate the efforts. We would suggest this not be an administrative or staff person, rather a PTA/PTO person, or club executive board person
  • Our Community Partner will commit to active participation and endorsement of the initiative through notices and emails
  • Our Community Partner will provide all order information and proceeds from the fundraiser on or before October 21, 2009 (last day for any orders to be processed)
  • Our Community Partner will provide through its order form process a means for S.T.A.R.T. to prepare and deliver goods to a location with the the Community Partner distributing products the goods to the buyers on or before October 27

Smart Treats Are Responsible Treats (S.T.A.R.T.) is a pilot program, working with both community and corporate partners to further the awareness of, and to combat, Childhood Obesity through the utilization of non-food treats for Halloween. Our goal is to reach children and parents, creating a paradigm shift from one of reinforcing obesity to one of health and wellness through good choices. Additional benefits of the program are financial sustainability for community programs/partners and community service projects/corporate social responsibility. It is our belief that with the first year pilot program’s success, S.T.A.R.T. will expand as a national initiative with a greater outreach and more awareness focused on Childhood Obesity. Join with us to make a difference.
