A Letter of Request from Joyce Stark:
Held the first weekend in June every year in the lush, green grass of Richland Park at the outside Amphitheater, in heart of Portland, TN, Raise The Praise Productions Inc. aka RTP, a 501 c3 nonprofit organization, rolls out their much awaited and anticipated 'FREE' annual 2 day, overnight youth and family focused festival; alive with a genre of music, KidzZone, Inflatable's, the Christian Arts, breakout sessions, motivational speakers, dance, praise painting, vendors, food and family fun, that brings a broad stroke of exciting entertainment to all ages. And in 2012 RTP will be approaching our grand 6th year anniversary and our 7th event festival.
Awarded the Outstanding Impact Community Outreach Award for Youth and Families June '09, presented by the Portland Chamber of Commerce, RTP's mission is to serve our tri-county areas by providing a festival geared to youth and their families that's in a safe, non threatening, alcohol and drug free environment, buzzing with excitement and brings the message of Hope & Help all in one wonderful opportunity.
RTP is also known by their annual food drive at their yearly events where each attendee is ask to bring one non-perishable food item to be donated to the food banks for the needy.
The wholesome, safe, family friendly atmosphere created by Raise The Praise at their 'free annual events' are always an enjoyable, inviting experience for all who attend. And nothing speaks louder than those who have experienced an RTP event: Lora Garcia says: I'm a 14 yr old student who came in from Ocala, Florida to attend RTP and I stayed the whole 2 days camping out. This festival was incredible and totally rocks for teenagers and even older adults like it. Thx RTP looking forward to next year! Youth Pastor Aaron Davis from Oasis Church in Brentwood, TN says; I can't say enough good about RTP...Great music, Great speaking, Just a great time for the whole family!
I've never been one who believes there should be a charge placed on presenting the message of Hope that is in Christ, alone. The luxury of keeping these festival events free and the Gospel message flowing out to our tri-county area and beyond has been afforded to RTP and all attendees by the gracious support from businesses, churches and individuals whose desire is to continue to see the positive impact that RTP promotes and knows the value of investing in eternal matters.
It is those of us who realize Christ, alone, is this nations Hope and Saving Grace, who have continued to support the exciting events of RTP. RTP is a gift to our tri-county area and beyond, one that continues to give year after year having a positive impact on our tri-county area. RTP has also been a positive asset to our local businesses from the many, many folks who come into the community to attend the festivals.
RTP can only provide these exciting family fun/youth oriented events with your financial support. I'd ask you to consider becoming a financial sponsor of RTP. Please check out our sponsorship package and prayerfully consider which option would be suitable for you.
As you can see with our sponsorship package, it is our endeavor to give our sponsors all the public appreciation possible. We are honored to show our appreciation to those who so graciously support RTP's mission. We have been told by one of our faithful yearly business sponsors: "we appreciate the amount of exposure you provide. We rarely receive that type of exposure from other programs we support."
Allow me the honor of saying, thank you so much for your prayerful consideration in investing in our present & future generation by financially supporting RTP.
Together in the harvest,
Joyce Stark - President/Exec. Director of RTP Productions
