Our History:
This project was initiated by Jojo Sayson, President/Founder of Project Michelangelo Foundation (for children's empowerment & rescue missions) in partnership with Eric Peterson of Project Headspace & Timing (for PTSD assistance & prevention of PTSD-related suicide), the 2 foremost service organizations that Ray Olley supported through the years. This initiative is called the Ray Olley Memorial Project or ROMP, NFP (non-for profit corporation registered in the State of Illinois and a 501(c)(3) approved organization by the US Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service Tax Exempt & Government Entities. The ROMP is now offered as a public community to national activity in partnership with Veterans of the US Armed Forces; Veterans of US Allied Forces; community rescuers & emergency responders; dedicated patriots & proud American citizens. The ROMP is purposed to continue activities past its completion date (with any funds received after costs are satisfied) for awareness against animal cruelty, extension of assistance to veterans & community responders suffering from the devastating effects of PTSD, military events, appreciation events for spouses of vets with PTSD, & military history education for children to facilitate the understanding & commitment to the ideals & value of democracy.
