Neotrope launched its NonProfit PR Grant Program (www.send2press.com/non-profit) in 2000 and has provided discounted or free services to non-profits for almost 30 years. Neotrope’s Send2Press(R) Newswire service provides the news dissemination component of the grants program for getting press releases in front of interested media. Online marketing across the Neotrope News Network will also help reach up to 10 million eyeballs per month via banner advertising, included in this year’s grant.

Past recipients of the NonProfit PR Grant Program include Children Awaiting Parents, Girls Write Now, Paws of Life Foundation, Special Equestrians, The Bob Moog Foundation, The Starlight Children’s Foundation, The Native Voices Foundation, World Savvy, and many others.

2012 NON-PROFIT PR GRANT RECIPIENTS:

Every production addresses conflict resolution and current issues students face on a daily basis while building literacy, communication, problem solving and teamwork skills that end in a tangible result. TSP works with students at their school over the duration of 12-14 weeks during their regularly scheduled school day for approximately 2 hours once a week to see a project from inception through delivery. We use teachers employed through our organization and professionals from the entertainment community who participate as mentors. Students hear others’ stories and learn to find and share their own.

2) The mission of the Pacific Pinball Museum (www.pacificpinball.org) is “To inspire an interest in science, art and history through pinball and to preserve and promote this important part of American culture.” We do this by: Maintaining and operating a Museum to display a large quantity of playable machines from all eras of pinball in an educational and entertaining manner. In addition to producing the world’s largest Pinball Event, the Pacific Pinball Exposition, we provide classes on the science of pinball, electricity and magnetism, art and history to local schools and visitors.

3) Camp Blue Skies Foundation (www.campblueskies.org) provides week-long residential camps for adults with developmental disabilities.

Unfortunately, a lot of this “stuff” is food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away. “That’s where we come in: our movers offer to pick up unwanted, non-perishable food items during the moving process and deliver it to local food banks. To date we are working with over 200 moving companies in 37 states. Together we have collected 400,000 lbs. of food for food banks across America.”

When their baby was born they were told he was exhibiting Infantile Spasms, a specific type of seizure seen in an epilepsy syndrome of infancy and childhood.

The Torescos worked with local neurologists in search of answers. But standard approaches were not showing success. Frustrated, Kristina located one of the nation’s top epileptologists in Detroit. The baby was immediately flown to Children’s Hospital of Michigan. His MRI and electroencephalograms were inconclusive, but a PET Scan (positron emission tomography) provided a clear diagnosis: focal cortical dysphasia (FCD). FCD is a congenital abnormality where the neurons in an area of the brain misfire leading to seizures.

Dominick, now 14, has shown enormous courage in dealing with his epilepsy. The Torescos considers themselves blessed with his resolve and success.

“We have come so far from where we were,” said Kristina. “And we’re grateful to the various medical teams. But you have to be your child’s advocate and seek a protocol that is best for your situation. I continue to research for any advancement and consult with experts.”

Through the efforts of the Torescos and their family of auto dealerships with the support of manufacturers and vendors, substantial funds have been raised to promote the National Epilepsy Foundation’s “Get Seizure Smart” campaign. The efforts will continue.

“People think of epilepsy as something that can easily be controlled with medication,” said Dominick Toresco, Sr. “In certain cases it does happen. But our son is proof that it’s vital to explore every avenue. There is no cure. But research can make a difference. We have seen vast improvements in our son’s life. But there is still much we don’t know.”

More than 3 million people in the U.S. have epilepsy. The Epilepsy Foundation’s Web site (www.epilepsyfoundation.org) is the Internet’s most comprehensive and authoritative source for information about seizure disorders. The organization provides a nationwide information service at (800) 332-1000, staffed by professionals who respond to caller questions.

“It was so rewarding to be able to help make the kids holiday season brighter with decorations for their hospital rooms,” Melissa Bowman, Executive Director of FFG explains. “Some children were unable to come down from their rooms so their sibling came for them. The parents were so grateful and the kids seemed entertained and excited to be able to do crafts.”

All of FFG’s employees put their heads together for ideas that would be easy and fun for the hospitalized children to make. There were four different stations including reindeer making, ornament decorations, stockings to hang on the tree, and a snow man coloring station. The stockings were the biggest hit with the children!
