Dear Alicia and Kate,

We are the Dudley Divas from the Event Planning & Management class from Nichols College.

Lauren Duquette is our group leader. She is a Hospitality Management major as well as working

towards her certificate in Entrepreneurship. Lauren is an active member in her community both

on and off campus and she has been behind the scenes on many events before. She looks forward

to working with you if you choose us. Christine Collins is our group communicator. She is a

Junior and a double major in Human Resource Management and Hospitality Management. As an

active member of our campus community, she is excited to help plan this event for you. Nadiyah

Davis is our group marketer and is majoring in Business Management. Nadiyah is currently an

RA in the freshmen dorms and is actively planning events for her residents every month. Rachel

Moran is in charge of the budget. She is currently a sophomore and double majoring in

Hospitality Management and Communications. Rachel is an active member in the Institute for

Women’s Leadership and the Hospitality Club on campus as well as a member of the Emerging

Leaders Program. She looks forward to hearing from you.

We are looking forward to sharing our thoughts and ideas with your organization. Although

COVID has impacted everything in our lives, we are confident that we can create an event that

will meet your needs. It was mentioned that one of the main goals of 15-40 is awareness, and we

believe that by hosting a virtual talent show, this will provide a fun atmosphere while including

the educational content. We want to thank you for taking the time to read about our event idea.
 Event Proposal

Unfortunately, cancer can impact people of any age. Our hope is to reach out to as many

demographics as possible. It is crucial to reach a younger audience so they can understand how

to detect cancer early & also teach others how to do so. Through our event, we believe that we

can reach this demographic. We have noticed that there are many fellow Bison that have

undiscovered musical talents. By hosting the virtual talent show, this would give them the

opportunity to display their talents while be informed about your organization and its messages.

We are hoping to take over the Nichols College Instagram page in order to reach as many

viewers as we can. In addition, we will be creating our own Instagram page to promote the event.

Our marketing plan includes creating a flyer as well as promoting it on the Nichols College

Radio. We will post it on our own social pages and request that our family and friends do the

same.

We would appreciate it if one of you could speak at our event. We are hoping to have 10 acts,

about 5 minutes each. We will have an intermission after the first half. After the acts have

finished, we would like the participants to vote for their top 3 favorite acts. Prizes will be placed

in the school mailboxes of recipients. All other prizes will be mailed to the recipients’ home

address. The first-place winner will receive a VISA gift card, the second-place winner will

receive a Dippin Donuts gift card, and the third-place winner will receive a Price Chopper gift

card.

Logistics
In order to make this event a success, to start off, we will be putting up flyers not only around

campus but also in local stores such as Dippin Donuts and Park n Shop. This way kids and

neighboring residents will know about the event and most importantly 15-40. To better promote

the event, we plan to take over the Nichols College Instagram and Facebook page. We will be

posting on both platforms weekly about the event, who will be performing and what 1540 stands

for.

We will we hold auditions and have contracts for the performers to sign if they are selected that

way, they know that this is something they can’t just back out of. This event will start at 8pm on

Instagram live and will run for about an hour. We'll give the first set of people 25 minutes, then

we would like to have someone from 15-40 come into the live to speak for 10 minutes, then the

next set of performers will have 25 minutes.

We want to thank you for your consideration of our event idea, and we hope you like it as much

as we do. We hope that through this event, we can create awareness and educate as many people

as possible. We wish you the best of success during these turbulent times.

Sincerely,

The Dudley Divas | Lauren Duquette, Christine Collins, Nadiyah Davis, Rachel Moran
