The Mighty Mike Bounce Out the Stigma Project and its fundraising efforts is
an extension of the goals and purpose of our program. While we empower and educate, we also want to create
new opportunities so that everyones life can be enriched. A percentage of revenue generated from our summer camp and
other programs, such as Mighty Mike school assemblies, combined with donations will grow to benefit a
fund for a host of different programs for children. These opportunities will include Mighty Mike Camp
scholarships, education and epilepsy awareness programs in schools, creating that we are in the process of forming,
and funding other community based programs geared toward empowering youth. The purpose of giving back is to
give all children opportunities they never thought imaginable.
Bounce Out the Stigma is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization.
For more information or any donations to The Bounce Out the Stigma Project
please contact Theresa Maranzano at 201-248-0783, or Mike Simmel. Also if you are a company or individual interested in donating solely
to the separate Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey's Bounce Out the Stigma Fund, please contact Pat Connelly at the Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey or Mike Simmel. This effort is also a tax deductible donation and is used for our program
funds, mainly providing summer camp scholarships. We are very proud to say that no one has ever been turned away
from our camp due to inability to pay, and last year 25% of our campers received a full scholarship,
all resulting from our generous donations.
