Dear Friends, Neighbors, & Business Owners:
Here, in our New Jersey communities, the number of children with Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASDs) has risen to 1 in 49, which creates the likelihood that most of you
have knowledge firsthand of the needs of these children and their families. Our
educational systems are taking on the challenge to provide these children with the
necessary support to succeed in their academic settings. MarbleJam Kids was
created to provide children with ASDs an opportunity to flourish in social and
recreational settings.
There is an exciting opportunity available for our students between the ages of 11 23 in Bergen County this summer, July 28th – August 8th at Our Lady of Mount
Carmel, Tenafly. MarbleJam Kids is again sponsoring the Joey Travolta Short Film
Camp, a hands-on filmmaking camp taught by Joey Travolta, special educator and
director, along side his crew of Hollywood film professionals. Joey Travolta was born
and raised in Englewood NJ. For the past 12 years, he has dedicated himself to
providing opportunities to children and young adults with Autism and special needs
with his film camp on college campuses all over the country. This camp is designed to
meet the needs of all students, both with and without disabilities. The participants
receive an educational experience in learning how to make movies, resulting in
actual production of a short film premiered upon completion of the final edit.
In order to provide the camp for families in need, we have started a “Send a Kid to
Camp Campaign.” We are reaching out to you for assistance with this program.
Attached is a sponsorship form where you may review opportunities to help a kid
go to camp.
If you have any questions or concerns, we can be reached directly at 201-497-6512
or via email: info@marblejamkids.org For more information about us and to make
an online donation, visit our website www.marblejamkids.org
We hope you will join us in support of continuing to provide exceptional programs
to meet the needs of all children.

Film Camp Sponsorship Marketing Plan
Autism is an important topic and large issue of concern particularly in New Jersey where the incidence is so
high. The number of children affected by autism and global developmental delays is enormous. Autism
affects 1 in 49 children in the state of NJ.
Joey Travolta, actor, filmmaker, special educator, and brother to John Travolta, was born and raised in
Englewood NJ. His professional film making company, Inclusion Films, employs individuals with disabilities.
He is an alumni of Saint Peter’s College and William Paterson University.
The Joey Travolta Short Film Camp is a unique inclusive experience that teaches kids the art of film making
in an inclusive co creative and supportive environment resulting in a 50-minute short film. The film is
premiered at a red carpet event upon final edit. This final event allows each child and their families the
opportunity to shine.
Brand Recognition:
Advertising benefits and opportunities for businesses large and small to participate in the sponsorship
campaign for the Joey Travolta Short Film Camp can be immeasurable.
