2021 Finger Lakes Region Scenic Calendar benefiting The Autism Nature Trail at Letchworth State Park

The calendar combines scenic images, historic narrative, and also supports the premier of an original and model approach in engaging the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) community.

    Calendar

    2019: Last year, we made our first calendar.

    2020 Calendar Images

    And, we donated a significant portion of the proceeds to United Way of Greater Rochester.

    Facebook 1-24-20: United Way of Greater Rochester

    "A HUGE thank you goes to John Kucko Digital and Omnidon Productions for the incredibly generous $10,000 donation to United Way today. John came to us last spring to share that he was planning a Finger Lakes Region 2020 Calendar Featuring John Kucko Digital Images with his stunning images of beauty in our community and surrounding region. He asked if we were interested in being the community partner, and we said YES YES YES. Fast forward just a few months with nearly 3,000 of John’s calendars hanging on your walls, and this generous donation as a part of the proceeds of the calendar sales to benefit this community we all call home. Thank you, John!" - United Way of Greater Rochester

     

    2020: This year, we will produce another spectacular scenic Finger Lakes Region calendar featuring John Kucko Digital images and will donate a significant portion of the proceeds to the Autism Nature Trail (ANT).  Our initial goal is to reach 1000 calendar pre-sales so we can afford to print. You can help make this happen and receive your own Finger Lakes Region 2021 Calendar featuring John Kucko Digital images.

    Who is ANT?

    The Autism Natural Trail (ANT) is 'groundbreakingly' amazing! The ANT will become a unique national treasure for the ASD community and for all visitors to Letchworth. Your support will help reach the goal to permanently endow the Trail.

    From autismnaturetrail.com -“The Campaign To Build the Autism Nature Trail (The ANT) at Letchworth State Park is a public-private partnership to provide a recreational Trail within the park that allows visitors with autism and other developmental disabilities to push boundaries, explore new activities and develop skills.  To date, the campaign has raised over $2 million of the projected $3.9 million needed to construct the Trail and aid in ongoing maintenance, operations and programming. The public phase of the Campaign now is active, with plans to raise the full amount before 2021."

     

    Letchworth State Park is among New York’s premier scenic destination, attracting nearly 850,000 visitors each year.

    This is a one of a kind, new model in inclusiveness for all.

    Timeline

    • This pre-order campaign begins April 25, 2020. We have 60 days to reach the minimum of 1000 calendars pre-sold. If we don't reach 1000 within 60 days, we will not print and you will be refunded. If we reach 1000, we will continue the preorder campaign until  Oct. 31, 2020.  Starting Nov. 1, 2020 you can order online here: https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/3421...
    • You are charged now, at the time you pre-order this calendar.
    • We plan to finalize design in late summer and go to press in September. (Update: Calendars designed and are now being printed, started 10/16.)
    • Mailings are scheduled for late October, 2020.
    • Our donation to ANT will be in early 2021, after campaigns and sales have effectively ended. (Update, we'll likely make the donation in November or December, 2020 afer the preorder campaign ends.)

    Updates

    We’ll post updates on this Indiegogo site as we select images, work with the designer, go to press, etc. We’ll also involve you in the process, asking you to vote for images that might be used in the 2021 calendar. Even after the campaign ends, we will continue to post updates throughout the development, printing, and shipping process.

    After the Campaign Ends and Communication with Us

    Follow John on his Facebook page for information on additional ordering after the campaign ends, updates, in-person appearances, calendar signings, reselling, etc., or contact us at omnidonproductions@gmail.com

    www.facebook.com/JohnKuckoDigital                                  

    Risks and challenges

    We need 1000 calendar orders to make this possible. Our goal is 50,000!  If we do not receive 1000 pre-orders by the time the campaign ends, you will be refunded within 5-7 days after the end of the campaign and we will not print.  

    We are working with the same professional designer and local professional commercial printer we used for the 2020 calendar to minimize risk. We have the photos, we have a printer, we have the U.S. Post Office. Even with prudent, conservative planning, issues always arise. There are always risks of unforeseen delays, accidents, catastrophes, meteor strikes, alien invasions from the 2nd galactic quadrant in the Milky Way Galaxy, etc.  Thus, there may be delays in mailing the calendar to you. We have built in a lot of time to the project to make sure you have the calendars in-hand before the winter 2020 holiday season. Also, if this blows up, and we obtain 20,000 or 50,000 or 100,000+ supporters, that may delay the fulfillment and shipping. Rest assured, we are preparing for that blessing if it happens, but just in case delivery is delayed, please forgive us.

    We are committed to this printing. If for some reason we are unable to print the final product, you will be refunded. Contact anyone who has worked with us or endorsed us. We are upstanding guys and will take a loss ourselves if needed to make anyone whole.

    COVID repercussions? Who knows at this time. Our lives are changing daily and we have no idea what conditions will be in September during our planned time to print.  Will costs go up/down? Will we be able to print? Will there be significant delays? We will plan for those contingencies as best we can and deal with them as they arise. Worse comes to worse, we refund everything and we don't print. 

    About Us (the people creating and selling the calendar)

    L-R: Don and John

    The Seneca People honored William Pryor Letchworth with the name Hai-wa-ye-is-tah, "he who does the right thing." We aim to do the same. We certainly want to produce a wonderful product that promotes the region and put some US currency in our pocket, but we also want to give back in a large, meaningful way.

    Photographer

    John Kucko - A 30-year TV sports anchor who traded one passion for another four years ago when he left sports to pursue digital photography. In a short time, John has been fortunate to capture several viral and iconic images ranging from Ice Houses seen across the world to Finger Lakes Region waterfalls and so much more. John treasures living so close to so many Finger Lakes Region landmarks and loves to showcase them on his digital Facebook page where his reach routinely tops the two million mark each month. John’s images capture the beauty of the Finger Lakes Region and surrounding counties as no other. His images elicit emotions of awe, pride, remembrance, and beauty. His captivating images and historical narrative have been used by regional, domestic and international media regularly. A viral sensation due to a love of the Finger Lakes beauty & history and a passion for photography & drone flying (both self-taught). John's images and descriptions tell a story - a story rich in beauty, history, and traditions of today and yesterday.

    "John Kucko, as an ardent fan of Letchworth State Park, was an early supporter of The Autism Nature Trail (The ANT).  He believes -- as we do -- that natural beauty should be shared, which he accomplishes through his stunning photography. John shows integrity in his profession as a journalist, his visual story-telling as an influencer and his inclusive philanthropy as a human being.  We are so grateful for John's generosity in directing proceeds from the sale of his 2021 calendar to The ANT, a nature trail for all in the #1 state park in the country!"

    -Loren Penman, Co-Chair for The ANT, Genesee Region Parks Commission

    Why did we do this and why are we doing it again?

    Thousands of John’s followers asked for a calendar, book, etc. of his photos. So, what better way to answer the call than with a beautiful calendar? John and I formed Omnidon Productions, Inc., a NYS formed S-Corp designated company. Integral to this is the desire to give back to those in need. We were taught to share and help. We were very successful with our first run out of the gate ( donated $10,000 to United Way of Greater Rochester from 2020 calendar proceeds) and wanted to build on that and donate more this your with the 2021 calendar.

     

    Thanks. Together we'll support the building and maintenance of the Autism Nature Trail, and you get a heck of a nice looking calendar.
