While consistently trying to assist our community Youth across the city of Chicago, DaMain Cause event planners focuses are on one large project at a time and performs an intense daily medley of efforts culminating, in what we are promising to be the finest and safest multi-faceted activity of arts, food, and music held in the neighborhoods and communities of Chicago. A recent street canvassing- survey of 600 residents shows that people in the general region welcome and relish such events, citing that it would promote neighborly relationship and increase the unity in the community.
Community –conscious,DaMain Cause Event Planners have proceeded to embed local organizations, businesses, contractors, and many individuals as workers and vendors to help meet the goals of the event. The local residents of the listed communities are among the participants joining forces in the event. It’s an annuity for the community!

Hello, my name is Dennis Howell. I am Unique Strategist Entrepreneurial and special events planer. My experience of 35 years has proven that I can brighten the lives of community residents and corporate America with the local talents of any neighborhood, community, city, or state. My creative mind and abilities, dictates the depths, limits and pace of my involvement of any festive events, I undertake. While there is always much to do, I try to balance the tasks and delegate various duties to my team of "Worker Bees" and together we push for the very best entertainment possible at little or no cost.
DaMain Cause, core supporters are the residents we entertain via, local artist and entrepreneurs. We solicit the talent and wherewithal of the city's local performing artist (actors, acrobats, artist, contortionist, dancers, jugglers, mimes, musicians, singers,steppers, tumblers, and ventriloquist). We sometime ask for registration fees, of course none of that goes to the pockets of our staff,; it off-sets the cost of the event where venue, food, technical services and stage equipment is required.
The only mission statement the DaMain Cause works by has been to help expose our local talent while bringing together community residents, organizations, and advocating education, economics, peace and prosperity.
Our events offer every form of right-choice activity and endeavors to unite all people to buy into the concept and theme of our festivals; "Citizens Advocating Urban Safety Everywhere" the meaning behind the acronym, 'CAUSE'. Our Event Planning Tag Team of planning experts adds a new dimension to the standard concert and food fundraiser formats of the past. Together this team of special persons make up the foundation of DaMain Cause Organization. As mentioned in brief, our dedication to creative and imaginative event planning is surpassed only by our passion for supporting social services agencies in their quest to help as many of the at-risk-population of our society as possible. A recent street canvassing- survey of 600 residents shows that people in the general region welcome such positive events as those promoted by DaMain Cause, citing that it would promote neighborly relationship and increase the unity in the community. Additional features of the event offer a resourceful networking for local artist while at the same time give free publicity via banner advertisement and brochure hand-out information on various websites like Gig Salad. Other features we support are listed below.
1. T-shirts with Theme word on front and poem on the backside w/possible artwork included
2. A Donation Bowl full of pledge cards placed surgically in the front-center of the performance stage and entrance-way has always generated enough funds to have real money-raffles to winner of the cash raffle component at our events. All are welcome to participate. If no one wins, all the proceeds generated goes toward the next free event to the community chosen for a festival. 3. Banners promoting Facebook, Gig-Salad, You Tube, Twitter, various artist post websites, sponsors and our sponsoring vendors are hung as a resource to local talent and to promote the site free of charge.
Event Planners has had a very, good rapport with community residents, and local business entrepreneurs who are consistently supportive of the efforts we put into bringing unification to the neighborhoods via the varied exhibitions of the arts and the active engagement of social service orientated or like-minded individuals our communities. Our organization and its supporters are ready to show that we can make a difference and effect change for a stronger uniformity among all of our Chicago residents. Our efforts toward the promotion of arts appreciation in our under-privileged neighborhoods can influence harmony and social reform as it relates to saving the lives of our young people and stunting the increase of violence in our community.
