General Information | Our Goal | How to Apply
Please join in the 1st Annual "Learn Green / Live Green" educational and
sales event to be held on Saturday, April 18, 2009 at The John S. Knight Center. This
event is in support of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
The goal of “Learn Green / Live Green” is to explain what Organic, All Natural,
and Eco Friendly Products are, their benefits and where to find them, i.e.…YOU the
Exhibitor.
All businesses that help our earth to be more Eco Friendly are invited to exhibit their
version of “Living Green” by introducing their products to the public.
The idea is to enlighten the public of our goal; as well as Sell, Sell, Sell.
The Learn Green / Live Green teaching and sales event will be an annual event supporting
the Allergy and Asthma foundation of America. The purpose is to educate and encourage
the sales of Organic, All Natural and Eco Friendly Products.
Entertainment for the entire family, including children’s green activities and raffles
and a wide assortment of prizes will welcome all patrons. There will also be a vendor
available for Food and Beverages.
Day Event Entry tickets will be $5.00. The ticket price is discounted to $3.00 for your
entire group by bringing one bag of paper products to be recycled.
***We also have a formal evening planned from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Entertainment,
with The Wanda Hunt Band as the headliner, a silent and half-hour live auction, including
organic hors d’oeuvres will take place. Booth exhibitors for the event will receive
$25.00 off of the $75.00 ticket.***
Short Note: My name is Suzanne Balch and my son is twenty-months old and suffers with
severe allergies and asthma. My son is one of the youngest patients in our city to be
diagnosed with asthma. Diagnosis of asthma is normally given after three years of age.
My son’s asthma is controlled by two must-have daily medications and three to five more
as needed medications that are given up to four times per day. His asthma symptoms
worsen with allergy and trigger related events.
We have found that by using Organic, All Natural, and Eco Friendly food and products for
my son, rather than man-made substitutions, that he has ten times less breathing
problems.
This event was conceived while in the hospital, waiting on yet another test to be taken.
I realized that people are unaware of how life-threatening allergies and asthma can be! I
thanked God, as I sat there, that we were blessed to be able to pay for the medicines and
tests that he needs. I thought about, “What about those who can't afford all the tests
and medicines it takes to care for a child with these problems?”. This is when, “Learn
Green / Live Green was born.
No matter what it takes - I want to promote community awareness of Asthma and Allergies
to educate not only those who suffer with these symptoms, but their families about how
“Living Green” will increase quality of life.
It is our goal this year and for years to come to provide a quality event exhibiting
Organic, All Natural and Eco-Friendly Products. All other items for resale WILL NOT
be allowed!
We will have extensive marketing and advertising in place throughout our community
targeting all areas within a fifty-mile radius of the John S. Knight Center. Some of the
advertisers include, but are not limited to the Akron Beacon Journal, The Mimi, The
Medina County Gazette, yard signs introducing
www.learngreenlivegreen.com, and our local school systems, which reach over 50,000
people.
