In my opinion, the definition of media, just like the stories that media produces, is based on each individuals interpretation.
To tie that into the CnXn sports apparel idea, we believe that anything can be media. Like I said in our entry, media in itself is a form of expression and exposure. Our apparel gives exposure to our goal of "connection communities."
Many media outlets only publicize negativity. Reporters dig up dirt on individuals, take the recent Tiger Woods incident, or the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal. Why do we focus on everyone's problems. Wouldn't it be nice to have a media outlet that gave notice to the good in society all of the time.
The CnXn apparel line sends a positive message to our youth. Our mission of connecting all socioeconomic backgrounds and our strong support for inner-city education and athletics is an all around feel good story.
If you believe in positivity than you will believe in "Connection." Like our parents always told us, "life is all about connections."
Come unity one 4 all; community one 4 earth! Some will say communication is you & i as one for Earth! We say... Catch Ontological Memory, Measuring Unity, Negating Ignorance, Tethering Youth.
-We've widely enjoyed your gifts of CnXn & wish to apparel the parallel, of balanced community, 'uniquequal' vision, unique & equal vision from our perspective.

CnXn, short for Connection, is a jumpstart sports apparel company based in Cleveland, Ohio. We will operate as a social entrepreneurship. CnXn revolutionizes the way you think about apparel. With our multidimensional approach, we transform the shirt on your back into a walking advertisement for social change.
CnXn will run auxiliary operations in select urban cities, beginning in our hometown, Cleveland, Ohio. Customers will have the chance to add their area code to any piece of apparel. For example, in Cleveland, customers can add 216 (pictured on the right). Thus, in Cleveland, we have created The 216 Connection. The area code style is based on the premise that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can identify with the area code from their hometown.
The goal of CnXn is to connect people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, hence the name CnXn. We have created a multi-layered shared element in which the potential customer will align with our causes while simultaneously sharing their hometown pride with the area code logos.
Our long-term goal is to have a profound effect on education and athletics in inner-city communities. Once CnXn becomes sustainable, we will donate a percentage of sales or equipment, to inner-city schools and their athletic departments, enabling the student athletes to have a more positive experience on and off the field.
Everyone dreams of playing for their home team. Athletes have been known to write their area code on their eye black or wrist tape. Musicians constantly refer to their area code or hometown in song lyrics.
However, the idea of representing one’s hometown should not be confined to the professional athlete or music icon. CnXn will give everyone the chance to represent their hometown.
The broader concept of CnXn, the area code style, has the potential to spread across the country. Our goal is to take the same model and replicate it in cities like New York, Chicago, DC, LA, etc. The premise for the area code style lies in the assumption that everyone, regardless of his or her tax bracket, can identify with his or her area code. For example, in Cleveland, we have suburbs like Shaker Heights that are just ten minutes away from some pretty rough neighborhoods in Cleveland. Our goal is to give those students in Shaker and those students just ten minutes away in Cleveland something to share.
In Cleveland, we have the "216" logo, in effect creating The 216 Connection. CnXn will give the potential customer something to identify with, regardless of one’s race, class, or background. The potential customer will not only represent his or her respective school or town, but will share the “we are 216 mentality” with everyone in Cleveland.
Again, the idea has the potential to go to other large urban cities with similar demographics. Our long-term goal is to have a profound effect on education and athletics in inner-city communities. After establishing a sustainable enterprise, we will start taking a significant percentage of our sales and donating money or equipment to inner-city schools and their athletic departments.
CnXn represents the shift “shift from investment banking and consulting jobs — the dot.com get-rich model — to social entrepreneurship, a socially conscious model” (New York Times, M.B.A.’s Guide Socially Concerned Entrepreneurs).
CnXn gives you the chance to be a part of something incredible; we give everyone an opportunity to fulfill his or her philanthropic visions. Please take a moment and think back to your childhood dreams. As young children, Michael and I dreamed of becoming professional baseball players. While we were not able to take our game to the highest level, we were fortunate enough to play four years of collegiate baseball.
Every young child has dreams of his or her own when growing up. Unfortunately, many children are unable to pursue those dreams because they do not have access to the resources that you and I have.
CnXn addresses those problems afflicting many inner-city youth across the country through the sales of our sports apparel, and subsequent donations to inner-city schools and their athletic departments. CnXn takes individuals that are viewed as being fringe members of society and brings the issues they face to the forefront.
The intent of the CnXn brand is not to reinvent the wheel. Many great works of art are derived from the work of others. For years, people have been taking something that has already been done and finding ways to make it better. CnXn will adopt the same attitude when it comes to our apparel. Ideas have the power to be done anew and are as unique as the people who engage with them.
The CnXn brand is about people, relationships, and communities; the CnXn brand creates an offline social network through the fabric of strong communities and athletic apparel. It represents a shift in the manner in which consumers interact. The CnXn brand forces consumers to change the way they think about purchasing sports apparel. The combination between consumer interaction and offline social networking helps tell the story about the lives and communities that the CnXn brand is improving.
Additionally, while we intend to offer high performance and aesthetically pleasing apparel, we are not strictly relying on the appearance of our apparel to boost sales. Our target audience will align with one of the two shared elements we have created; “The Cause” and the “Area Code Style.” People have different styles based on their interests and cultural background. CnXn will not be exclusive to a certain group of people. We will reach out to people from all different lifestyles, disregarding race, class, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The Style
The potential customer who does not understand the importance of our cause (presumably the younger crowd) will align with the unique style we have created with the use of the area code logo. Everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic background, can identify with their respective area code. Hence, in Cleveland, everyone can identify with the “216.”
The Cause
We believe that societal needs and business growth are intrinsically linked. The more informed potential customer will choose CnXn over our competitors because of the causes we support. Seventy-nine percent of people would likely switch from one brand to another brand if the other brand is associated with a good cause (Courtesy of Cone). Your Purchase. Their Reward.
As a part of CnXn’s community outreach efforts, we will eventually start a non-profit that operates as a separate entity. We would like to take an abandoned warehouse or vacant lot in Cleveland and turn it into an indoor baseball facility that also doubles as an academic enrichment center. It will be called the CnXn Baseball and Academic Enrichment Center. Students will have an opportunity to receive help with school work and can earn time at the baseball facility with stellar academic effort.
The CnXn Baseball and Academic Enrichment Center will strive to raise the graduation rate among Cleveland High School students, while also giving student-athletes an opportunity to pursue their dreams on the field.
CnXn will attempt to promote the game of baseball in the black community. Baseball is underrepresented in the black community. The number of black players in Major League Baseball is at all an all-time low of about 8.5%. Additionally, only about 6% of Division 1 Baseball players are black. Historically Black Colleges are having a very hard time even filling out rosters. There are 19 Division 1 baseball programs at HBCs. They are having an increasingly difficult time obtaining players.
Our goal is to use our apparel and subsequent sales to promote the game in black communities and also provide the kids with the necessary equipment and playing space to enjoy the game and be successful.
Mookie Wilson, former New York Met said “Rekindling the passion for the game, especially within the black community, will eventually help boost the sagging numbers.” He continued, “It has something to do with how the game is being marketed in our communities. But the bigger problem might be with young people just losing interest. What you need to do is help the youth establish a relationship with baseball.”
Additionally, CnXn would like to create it's own factory in the heart of Cleveland. We would like to employ Cleveland citizens to boost the economy. We probably won't be able to do this in the beginning, but it is a goal we would like to achieve once the brand gets recognition. If we get enough grant money and seed funding, this is something we might explore sooner than later.

Media is defined as:
the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines, that reach or influence people widely
one of the means or channels of general communication, information, or entertainment in society, as newspapers, radio, or television.
CnXn apparel sends a message that is meant to influence people widely.
