Hello Friends! Nate Lombardi, Venus, Stephanie & Paige here! We just wanted to thank you again for your support of The Groovy Projects. BOY, it is not fun asking for money-ug, REALLY! That being said, we’re thrilled and grateful you supported us. Over 160 contributions! 5,996 Dollars! We’re so grateful to every single one of you. With your donations we have been able to do some of the necessary things to build a successful & effective business.
With $2,400 YOU have made these things possible:
-Our Logo that you see (with two stand alone symbols)
-Our Website www.TheGroovyProjects.com
-Business Cards, Magnets, Thank You Cards, Stickers
-reference books and DVDs
-Meetings with 16 CONNECTED people interested helping us grow as a company.
-Food and Travel for an AMAZING “Groovy Projects” photo shoot with L’Oreal photographer (and GP donor) Claudia Hehr- who donated her time and equipment. (Also her friends’ donated studio!) You’re going to be incredibly moved by these portraits & the volunteers’ brave statements.
-A master class with 20 17-year old students who Tapped, Rapped, Sang, Beatboxed, and performed Lyrical dance to their empowering song “The Lost Generation.”
We don’t want to overwhelm you with all the details about the meetings and happenings. But we’ve been BUSY! If you DO want to peruse them, there are summaries in the First and Second Progress Reports with links to everything. We want you to have complete access to the growth of the company.
We have connections in the 3 boroughs, and the Lehigh Valley, to change lives. The long-term goal is to find national sponsors and big money, but corporate sponsorship will take a while for approval, so independent donors & LLPs are ideal for this stage. If we had anywhere from 25-50,000 dollars we could put the music project & DVD/curriculum projects in motion. We know exactly what to do and what professionals to reach out to; we just need to pay them. Then the corporate sponsors can help complete/distribute/promote them. We are spending every dollar of your money wisely. But in order to enlist professionals and the music legends we want- it’s going to take some more capitol. Of course we’re not asking you for it, but if you know somebody that has it, and is passionate about empowering youth-PLEASE send them our way!
We’re working hard every day, You are going to be proud of what you’ve help build! It’s moving at lightning speed!
Nate!
