Spring 2007 Events: YARD SALE-Fundraiser A Success!On Saturday, June 9th, the weather cooperated as we held the New Perceptions Yard Sale Fundraiser! We made nearly $1,700.00 thanks to the hard work of Sean and Misty Haas, who organized this event! But wait! There is more to the story of this event...The items that did not sell were donated to Metro Harvest Church of God in Cincinnati, OH. They, in turn, will hold a yard sale fundraiser to help the youth of the inner city, and they, in turn donated 10% of their proceeds back to us as well! The yard sale was such a great success; we plan to make it an annual event! So start thinking about what you want to donate for next year! Thank you to all of the staff, clients and supporters, who donated items, shopped and spent their cash! We could not have been successful without those who worked loading, organizing, setting up, cleaning up, or assisting with this event! THANK YOU!

Spring 2004 Events: 
RiverWalk 
"The RiverWalk was really fun, it was a great way to start my day, a comfortable walk in a beautiful setting, surrounded by my friends and family," said Chris Montello, NPI's Board of Directors President. The RiverWalk was not a timed event, but rather a family-friendly walk to promote awareness and inclusion of people with special needs, while helping to support the programs and services offered to the children and adults of New Perceptions.
The RiverWalk was definitely family-friendly; especially for the family of Vicki Wagner, NPI Adult Services client and RiverWalk Co-Chair, over 20 of Vicki's loved ones joined her on the walk and raised over $1,100.00 in her honor. Vicki and her family also won the prestigious title of Top Team Fundraiser. Sponsors included: ISOC.net, Karlo's Bistro Italia, The City of Newport, Prus Construction, Newport Drug Center, EGC Construction, South Bank, St. Elizabeth Medical Center, Louis Trauth Dairy, Inc., Gateway Rehabilitation Hospital, Panera Bread, Stith, Conder & Wimsatt, PLLC and The Purple People Bridge.

Guests departed the event with arms full of fun purchases from the Silent Auction tables that included items such as Mint Julep baskets, autographed sports memorabilia, and art work that was created by NPI clients.

The event is a family fitness walk to raise funds for New Perceptions' programs and services. The Riverwalk raised more than $3,000 this year.

On April 29th, New Perceptions kicked off Derby fever with its 2005 spring fundraiser, "Win, Place or Show...Everybody's a Winner at the New Perceptions Pre-Derby Gala!!" held at the Radisson Hotel in Covington.
A silent auction tempted guests with jewelry, sports memorabilia, trips, event tickets, and other great items. Guests could also try their luck on several raffle prizes. Mrs. Bonnie Leap was the lucky winner of the $1,000 cash prize. Mr. Tony Zembrodt won the lovely Maggie Valley Resort golf vacation in North Carolina donated by Mr. Timothy Schoonover. Mr. Brad Abbott won a beautiful 14kt. white gold diamond pendant donated by Herzog Jeweler. Mr. Wayne Bach won the $250 cash prize.
This year's event included a hat contest for the ladies and a gentlemen's tie contest for the men. Contestants collected cash "votes" from guests. The contestant with the most votes in each category was declared the winner with all proceeds going directly to the children and adults of New Perceptions. Mark Schenthal, Director of Communications & Public Relations for the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, took first prize in the men's tie competition. Kimberly L. Guffey, Licensed Massage Therapist, won in the ladies hat contest.
Regardless of who won on Derby day, it was apparent that all were winners at New Perceptions' Pre-Derby Gala! The evening would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors.
