The Better Vision for Children Foundation (B.V.C.) is a nonprofit public benefit association which is organized and operated for charitable purposes. B.V.C. has established its tax exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
This is the sole purpose of B.V.C.:
To prevent and cure partial or total blindness resulting from amblyopia (lazy eye) through:
Getting information to parents, pre-scholars, children's homes, etc., on the importance of getting pre-school children's eyes tested and corrective measures performed by ophthalmologists and other professionals with experience in screening and treating amblypia
A program of mass screening of one- to four-year-old children for amblyopia, retinoblastoma- eye cancer with a digital photo screener that can be operated by non-medical personnel. We would like to see at lease one each van with screening equipment in each major US city. Cost to vehicle and equipment is approximately $150,000 and it would require two employees at a salary expense of approximately $100,000 per year. A percentage of the profits from Noah’s Ark Theme Parks will help with the delivery of these much needed medical vans. An area at the Noah’s Ark Theme Parks will be set aside for complementary screening of children who visit. To place one Medical Van per state @ $50.000 each plus salary for two people each.
Payment of, or reduction in, the cost of the prescription eyeglasses or lenses required for treatment of underlying eye disorders
LEGAL NOTE: Counsel informs that both a 501 c3 and 501 c4 are IRS approved 501 c Non-Profit Organizations. The basic difference between a c3 and a c4 is that the Grantors tax deduction with a c3 is taken as charitable deductions and may be subject to limitations of your IRS Adjusted Gross Income amount. The Grantors tax deduction with an IRS 501 c4 Non-Profit is generally taken as a Promotion/Advertising amount and has no limitation amount.

SHORT TERM GOAL PLAN:
Have an all day Music Festival from 10am to 10pm at LA Coliseum which will accommodate 92,516 people with extra seat/standing in the infield. The music will be varied and theme will be of the Renaissance era. We have contacted the Coliseum events and philanthropy committee to perhaps get the stadium expense donated or a part thereof to our Non-Profit and in return they will become the sponsor whose name will appear on the Noah’s Ark float which will is scheduled to be in the Hollywood 2007, Rose Bowl 2008 and Martin Luther King 2007 parades. Disclaimer: The foregoing LA Coliseum reference is proposed and not yet approved….. In the alternative we have recently found a benefactor who will put up the required fees at the Stadium. If not at the Coliseum a place of equal capacity such as Orange County’s Anaheim Stadium or a College Football field.
By receiving donations of only $49.00 per person and moving 80% or 80,000 tickets for the day’s event will earn us $3,925,000 gross income. Out of this we should pay for the expense of security etc. Our talent will hopefully donate their time but it is customary to cover their travel expense. If we set aside $1,000,000 this leaves us a profit of $2,925,000 plus vender’s fees and our T-Shirts and other sales etc. Our vendors will come from a group of Irish/Scottish/Renaissance traveling merchandizing groups, peace and envirmental groups. We will encourage participants to dress in Renaissance era costumes. Additionally, their will be income from food and/or beverage sales they will have an income for the day plus advertising via Noah’s float to over 41 billion people in 137 countries and positive advertising to all of our email and media contacts listed below. We will also have a charity auction via aired internet the day of event. Mr Tom Cataldo, of Better Vision for Children Foundation – wwwbvcnow.org has offered to bring one of their vans to this family event so the children will be screened for amblyopia, retinoblastoma – eye cancer; a childhood preventable blinding disability. Truly a Win – Win!!!
