ASAP OHIO was founded by Jim Surace over 15 years ago, Philanthropist and CEO of Surace-Smith Insurance Group and Tom Hare, Executive Director of HarvestNet (a Networking Group serving NE Ohio).
ASAP OHIO was birthed based on the premise of providing positive programs that serve NE Ohio Schools to encourage healthy and productive lifestyles and mindsets and positive mentorship with today’s youth who will in turn be tomorrow’s leaders.
As a result of positive fruit in the lives of youth who participated ASAP Ohio over the years, Jim Surace and the ASAP Executive Team were inspired to make a shift from ASAP Ohio to ASAP America. This shift, now is now being implemented with hope and a strategy to reach beyond the youth of Ohio to the youth of America.
Our goal is to become the “assembly of choice” by northeast Ohio high schools, and middle schools, due to the relevance and helpfulness of the content, the quality of the presentation itself, and the excellence with which the overall program is executed.
Our goal is to offer area schools the opportunity to have a quality all-school daytime assembly that will be regarded as positive, helpful and encouraging to the students and faculty alike. This daytime assembly would be composed of two essential components: a professional quality warm-up entertainment component, followed by a motivational speaker of proven ability who would present a positive life-message topic. This would be followed-up by a second after school element – an evening “Come Back” meeting, made available with the prior knowledge of the school administration(s)… preferably at the school itself after hours, probably on an evening. This Comeback meeting would also have the dual entertainment + speaker component, but would be very pro-active in offering a clear and simple presentation of universal truths, with an opportunity for attendees to respond as they see fit.
