Mission: To express gratitude for the good things in our lives on Thanksgiving, by spreading love, happiness and positivity to those who may be in need of a morale boost.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering, donating or wants more information on how to become an official sponsor can contact me via email at projectpositivity419@gmail.com, telephone at 419-370-1667 or message http://www.facebook.com/projectpositivity419

In the year 2015, we began a new holiday tradition. On Thanksgiving Day, we got up early and headed out to area assisted living facilities to visit with and hand out cards and flowers to the residents, who were there instead of with their families for the holidays. It was an extremely rewarding experience and we made so many people smile.

In the year 2018, we decided to expand our annual tradition and invited family, friends and community members to join our adventure.

“My thought was, if I we had enough volunteers, we could visit multiple facilities in the general area, and spread more positivity and happiness. I shared my idea on social media and the response I got was overwhelming. So many people seemed interested in doing something good for the holiday.” – Michelle DeMore, founder Project Positivity

With the help of area businesses and volunteers, we handed out over 600 cards and 800 flowers. With the volunteer numbers we already have and number of facilities we hope to visit, I am projecting a need for close to 1,000 cards and flowers. To help cover the cost of these items, we are seeking business sponsors and donations from individuals.

“I want to ensure we have enough flowers and cards for every single resident, at every single location we visit. So any sponsorship or donation helps.”

“The more, the merrier. I want to get as many people out and spreading happiness as possible. In my opinion, this is a great tradition to get your kids involved with. It really teaches them the meaning of Thanksgiving and the power of goodwill and positivity.”

Meet at the Gazebo in the Washington Park Downtown Sandusky.

Be at the gazebo at 7:30 for the after gathering will be at Texas Roadhouse in Sandusky, OH

The chance to run/walk O-H-I-O returns in 2019 to downtown Sandusky. And there’s even a block M route for those supporting “That Team Up North.”

The unique street grid of Sandusky gives Buckeye and Wolverine fans a pregame event for the third-annual Dot the i, Block the M walk/run on Saturday, November 30, starting at 8:30 a.m.

New for this year: The Big O one-mile option. Finish the O in Ohio and be done for the morning.Online Registration available here: https://runsignup.com/dotblock2019

The course will include markings and signs along the way until participants finish the 4-5 mile walk or run. Aid stations will include water and hot chocolate as the participants cheer and jeer each other on their respective routes.

Those ‘Dotting the i’ will have a photo finish as they put on a Sousaphone to cap off their achievement. Finishers of both courses will receive a finisher medal provided by Buckeye Broadband.

Bring the kids as this is a family-friendly event. Children will be given a “Dot-to-Dot the i” or “Dot-to-Block the M” to follow the route while walking with family.

Awards will be given for the first male and female finishers from each course as well as most-spirited fan for each team.

All preregistered participants will receive a long-sleeved shirt, finisher medal, and be treated to an after-party for the race.  The after party will also serve as a pre-party for The Game as Ohio State and Michigan face off for one of the country’s best rivalries.
