Topeka Business Network is an industry-exclusive networking group that is committed to giving of their time and talents and to share in the benefits of the combined strength of individuals becoming a team. Topeka Business Network is a passionate group of business owners and employees who take their business and growth seriously.

Our business has grown and evolved over the years. In 2002, ASA raised $1.58 million in a mix of pledges, advertising and naming rights for the subsequently named Hummer Sports Park. The complex was completed in 2004 and is considered one of the great success stories in the city of Topeka, Kansas. The success of this project and three additional regional school district projects led to our current funding model and the change in name to ASA Strategic Funding, or more simply ASA.

Today we specialize in providing creative funding for school districts and other organizations through advertising, naming rights, memorials and honorariums. We are also skilled at assisting clients in creating foundations and alumni fundraising. Our research division conducts feasibility studies, live market research, polling, ballot initiatives and political campaigns.

At CREATE/UPLIFT we are a team of creative professionals working out of Topeka, Kansas. We began our agency in 2013 to help small businesses develop better content, and since then we have expand to add more services and industries to our growing portfolio. We represent the self-taught DIYers and remain fans of things that inspire us.

As part of Create/Uplift, Gonzalez has been involved with organizing downtown events that support that goal, putting together fundraisers for the theater’s restoration and artist collaborations at the proposed plaza site to drum up awareness about its future. The plaza is definitely needed as a venue, and Jayhawk Theater will be an amazing setting once it’s restored to bring in a range of live music.

Marcy and Tobias have been collaborators since 2013, and been in business together since March 2016. Tobias brings experience and expertise in clothing design, graphic arts and music, where his production work has been nationally recognized. Marcy has documented the hip-hop music scene in the tri-city area for almost a decade. It was The Midwest Invasion, Marcy’s video start up, which came together with Well Cultured to form CREATE/UPLIFT.

One important factor in making downtown successful is getting the college community involved…
