This proposal is of an event sponsored by Planet Fitness of Langhorne raising awareness for the National Kidney Foundation. Planet Fitness is located on East Lincoln Highway in Middletown, Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The goal of this even is to raise awareness of kidney health and a donation in the name of Planet Fitness for the National Kidney Foundation. As an employee of Planet Fitness I can attest that the company truly stands on its motto a “Judgement free zone”. As I have spent seven months as an employee I became aware that Planet Fitness has a strong community and relationship built between employees and clients. As it was brought to my attention, a coworker who is very well know and liked by clients and staff alike, has a severe kidney …show more content…
While raising funds and awareness, this event shows staff and clients that Planet Fitness cares for our community, and will encourage more people to sign up as members because this event will show that Planet Fitness is more than a gym that is cost effective, it will show that we, as a corporation, are also members of the community and care about our staff and cliental. As a Drexel University student, we are encouraged to seek opportunities that will give us real world experience and to reach out to and help the communities in our lives to promote ourselves, our college, and to broaden our abilities.

Because this event will have to consider the opinions and regulations of two organizations, any delayed communication or miscommunication could be detrimental to the project. In addition to this, working with both the National Kidney Foundation and Planet Fitness may have logistical problems, due to the fact that these are entirely different entities with different codes and standards, the ideas presented may conflict with each other. Currently there is no presented budget, which presents its own issues. This problem will be resolved within the next few weeks, after communicating with Planet Fitness. Time and Financial Expenditures At this time, I am unaware of the budget that will be set by Planet Fitness. The options for venues range from a park picnic area, a restaurant or local bar, to a venue like a country club. As for entertainment, there may be recommended DJs from venues, local DJs or local bands. Because of the food selection it maybe high in cost, unless a local bar or restaurant is chosen where healthy food opinions will be selected based on the menu provided. We hope the event will fall somewhere between July and August, where the Kidney Foundation has little events or promotions occurring. This means our time line is between 14- 16 weeks.
