Challenged Athletes
The topic of the paper is provided in this instructions. Also note the assignment has two parts, proposal and annotated bibliography. I have also provided sample proposal, please follow them.
Proposal and Annotated Bibliography for Final Business Report
Please no Plagiarism or Patchwriting my instructor will check. She is a stickler for all work being original. She runs all of our work through Turnitin.
In this assignment, you will propose a topic for your final business and summarize and evaluate some sources that are relevant to your project.
Prior to doing the final business report itself, you will write a proposal and bibliography in which you persuade your instructor that the project you have in mind is necessary/useful and to convince them that you are prepared to take on the project. To lay out your document, you can use the sample proposal in (See attachment 1 thru 4 ). (You do not need to include all the parts included in the attachment , so long as you cover all the parts required by this prompt.)
In the annotated bibliography, you should:
- List 3 sources that are relevant to your project (you must include at least 1 scholarly source) using an APA or MLA format citation
- Under each citation, write 2 paragraphs (this is the annotation)
- Paragraph 1 should summarize the source, as specifically as possible
- Paragraph 2 should evaluate the source for credibility and usefulness for the project
Note: You should write your own annotations; do not copy abstracts or other people’s summaries of your sources; that counts as plagiarism. You are showing your instructor that you read and understood the source.
While the proposal requires a minimum of 3 sources to show that the project is researchable, you will need more than 3 to fully develop your final project. There is no magic number, of course, as all topics are different and require different sources to achieve their goals. As you continue working on your report over the next couple of units, keep examining sources and thinking about what material you need to fully develop your report and recommendations. You do not need to redo the proposal to add or change sources. It is fairly normal to refine your sources as you work on a project.
Topic
I choose Challenged Athletes Foundation. Challenged Athletes Foundation is a non-profit organization whose aim is to offer an opportunity for individuals who are faced with physical challenges so that they are able to live active lifestyles and even be in a position to engage in athletic events competition. The major focus of the non-profit organization is to enhance the living standards of the disable athletes (Foundation & Us, 2017). I am connected to Challenged Athletes Foundation because of the fact that the organization supports community social activities and enhance the lifestyles of the less privileged.
One of the problems that Challenged Athletes Foundation is facing is lack of adequate funding for its activities. Since it is a non-profit organization, its main source of income is from donors, charitable events and grants (Foundation & Us, 2017). The organization holds high profile events and this requires high levels of funding. Therefore, there is the need to address the problem of financial funding.
The primary audience for the report is the organization’s management. On the other hand, the secondary audiences for the report are the other people that will receive the information indirectly. These may include the public and individuals who are interested in disabled athletics competitions.
The research sources that will aid in writing the research report include academic journals, books, and websites. Academic journals provide literature reviews for both the past and current research. Also, government reports are essential research sources that provide excellent information for research. Besides, the use of press releases as well as advertising is essential as it helps in the informing of the public about new developments for specific organizations. This can be an excellent source of information for research (Mai, 2016).

General Information
This organization had helped me with my P.T.S.D.
I would like to discuss the different ways non-profit organizations in general are able to raise awareness and funding.
Looking at other successful tactics might be great examples, and it would create a substantial paper enough for my final paper.
The attachments (PNG. filed) are just an example from the book. If you have to come up with a new idea, then I will need your help for the next 4 weeks. I want to stick with the Challenged Athlete Foundation idea though.

This book encourages the Physical challenged to be positive and never be taken as a death trap for any member of the society. Being born normal or with any form of physical challenge is a decision that not even the mother of the child makes but the creator of the human. A good healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle enable the athletes to be able to compete well as well as to be…
