Needs Assessment
We are doing this assessment in order to accurately establish what roles need to be assigned for
this event, what the end goal for the event is, and what is expected of us before during and after
The information we want to collect is what the members of F.A.C.E wish to have accomplished
through this event. Also what the new goals and changes that they want to have made regarding
the previous event and the outcomes. We also want to collect information on what the mission of
F.A.C.E is and how that ties into the mission of the event. Through the needs assessment we
want to collect information on what donations can be made, what the range of funds wished to be
raised, the theme of the event, date and times that work, the time commitment, and how to best
provide what is needed for the promotion of F.A.C.E and its members.
To obtain this data we will have a list of questions that we will address in class in order to have
input from our class mates. Also we will be asking the F.A.C.E board members for input. We
will be looking at the results from the previous event and then looking at what events similar to
this one entail. The class as a whole will be using personal experience and then also the
We will collect the information from members of the Cheney community, the F.A.C.E
community, and our classmates. We will use in person communication, online communication
and we will gather information from sources in the local papers. The information will come from
different sources across the community which will give the class the best understanding of how
We will gather this information during class meeting times. Also during F.A.C.E board meetings,
and on our own time as individuals throughout the duration of fall quarter leading up to the
event. This information should be gathered by at least two weeks prior to the event in order to
have the best chances of providing what all community members expect of the event.
To get the information we are going to be in contact with the F.A.C.E board members, we are
going to get a copy of the mission statement for F.A.C.E, and we are going to ask our fellow
classmates for the information regarding the data that they are able to provide. Also as a class we
will go out into the community of Cheney and ask questions regarding the data we wish to
collect for the event and gain an understanding of what the community members are able to
All the group members will use the information once we gather it. The information will be sorted
out to the appropriate groups so that it can be used to the best of that group's ability to benefit the
event. The F.A.C.E board members will also use the information that we collect. The board
members can use the information to keep a record of how the needs of the community relate to

Program Description
The Games and Dancing Candy Canes program is a short term program that raises funds and
awareness for the non-profit organization in Cheney of Friends Across Cheney Equally
(F.A.C.E). The Games and Dancing Candy Canes program is for members of the Cheney
community with disabilities in order to raise awareness of the organization that supports them
with recreation and support for other daily interactions. The program is supporting F.A.C.E in its
mission to, give developmentally disabled adults a voice in their community and also provide
social, recreational, and educational opportunities and also to build self-confidence and
friendships that last a lifetime. By planning, organizing, and facilitating the Games and Dancing
Candy Canes program for F.A.C.E the RCLS 385 class was able to raise funds and promote
awareness within the Cheney community for the organization and participants of F.A.C.E.
Participants in the event arrive at the door and pay to enter, they are also given a ticket for food.
Then they can move at leisure from the many different events offered. The events of; BINGO,
dancing, food, a silent auction, games, and meeting Santa were offered to all participants. For the
event donations were gathered, a venue was set, decorations bought, food prepared, and
volunteers were assigned roles so the event would run smoothly for all participants.

Resources:
Electronic media- We plan to create a Facebook event on the F.A.C.E. Facebook and then
broadcast it through many Facebook groups that are specific to Cheney. We also plan to use
Flyers/poster- We want to be able to market to as many people as possible and one way we are
going to do that is with flyers and posters. We want to make something that will catch someones
eye and make them get all the information as quickly as possible. We will be posting them in the
dorms, in the local stores, the elementary, middle, and high schools.
Broadcast Media- Broadcast media: Media sent over air like in TV and radio. The basis of what
we are going to do for F.A.C.E research the local media to help this winter event become very
successful. We intend to use local broadcasting media outlets from Cheney as well as local city
of Spokane. We will attempt to use EWU radio to persuade the EWU college community as well
as the Cheney community who listens in. Our group has connections to the Spokesman-Review
newspaper in Spokane and will use the connection to KHQ for a target audience that will also
benefit helping F.A.C.E. which is also the local television station for the surrounding area.
Word of mouth- Everyone in the class will tell anybody they associate with about the event in
order to gain their interest and create a buzz around the event like it referenced on page 224 in
the textbook. Also, we will inform them on what F.A.C.E is and what they stand for as an
organization.

Sub-Headings
1. First Aid- We had two first aid kits available at the event in case of any incident that may
have occurred. Overall there were no incidents during the event.
2. CPR/First Aid certifications- We collected CPR/First Aid certifications from our
classmates prior to the event and assigned at least one CPR certified classmate to each
station in case of an incident.
3. Emergency Exits- All emergency exits were clearly labeled at the event and the Risk
team walked through the building and discussed how we would exit everyone from the
building in case of a fire or emergency.
40
4. Fire extinguishers- All fire extinguishers were stored in secure locations with easy
access. Risk members walked through the building to know where to access a fire
extinguisher in case of a fire.
5. Clear exits- All exits and doorways were kept clear and we had a risk member constantly
checking the door ways and keeping them clear of objects, people, etc.
6. Station setup/take down- A table and sign were set-up before the event so in case an
incident took place during the event, people had
7. Incident Reports/Photo Release Form- Photo release forms were provided and filled
out by everyone who entered the event and was fine with their picture being taken.
Different color stickers were applied to each attendee to know the difference between
people who didnt want their photo taken and the people who didnt mind having their
picture taken. The colors for being fine with pictures were pink, blue, and green. The
colors for not being okay with their photo being taken include yellow and orange.
Incident report forms were available if an incident was to occurred.
8. Safety Procedures- Procedures were set in place for all possible situations. Every risk
group member knew the procedures. As a group, we went over every scenario that could
have possibly taken place during the event for precaution.
9. Lost Children- In case of an emergency where any child got lost, a table was set up with
helpers that could potentially help any parents find their missing child. Working closely
with F.A.C.E. this was a necessity that was found helpful for everyone.

We had a lot of great ideas and provided a lot for participants to do and it showed. Out of the
thirty three surveys taken nineteen gave a five star rating and nine more provided a four rating.
Last years program received roughly fifty sales, and this year we received roughly the same
from the community, plus an additional one hundred fifty five from the Anatomy and Physiology
class sales. That population was the moneymaker we hoped it would be. Most of our tickets were
sold within the first hour. We sold a total of one hundred seventy tickets by 5:35PM. Fifteen

people said they would not have changed a thing and twenty four participants said they would
like the F.A.C.E. Facebook page and we raised more than 2,500 dollars.
There was plenty of positive feedback, but also some complaints. Our class surveys noted that
setup seemed unorganized (6). Our class surveys also noted (9) we things did not run smoothly
during setup. Rotation was also reported to be lacking. Even though parking was an issue only

As a class we were able to host the F.A.C.E event in order to raise income for F.A.C.E and
awareness of the organization in Cheney Washington. Everything went as planned on the day of
the event with minor bumps along the road. Some of those shortcomings include lack of parking
for participants. Some participants felt that it would have been better to walk then to park due to
not having a big enough parking lot. Also, some participants felt that there should have been
more prizes at the event. Other than that the event ran smoothly and many participants seemed to
have enjoyed themselves. A great surprise was that some of Anatomy and Physiology students
who were not expected to stay the whole event actually did. Overall, the event all together was a

success and the goal of raising awareness for F.A.C.E as well as helping them gain income to
As the evaluation group we were able to put two surveys together. One survey to gather feedback
from the class after the event and another was for the participants of the F.A.C.E event. By
evaluating both the class and the participants we were able to gather a lot of feedback. We
choose to do both qualitative and quantitative surveys and showcased the results using charts,
which are shown below. Overall, participants seemed to have enjoyed the evening. Some class
members felt that communication within each group could have been better. Putting on an entire
event for an organization with a so many different people highlights the importance of effective
communication. Each member needs to be held accountable for doing what was asked of them
efficiently and professionally. Other than those shortcomings the class had a great time and
Conclusions
Our greatest sources of satisfaction were with marketing, risk assessment, food, signage, and
