It has to be "to not allow". In other circumstances, "not to allow" is possible, however it would have to be part of a contrastive "not to do that ... but rather to do this" construction. As in "We come not to bury Caesar, but to praise him."

If splitting an infinitive makes you nervous, you could paraphrase: "We create these events to prevent the news from going unnoticed."
