Help!

Post by tyson »

Hey everyone-

Hope you're all getting good wind back in MN. San Fran is some sick riding...

But, right now, I'm down in the Dominican Republic in Cabarete again. This time, though, I'm here for work. I've started a nonprofit organization The Wishspring Foundation to raise money for a small school here in Cabarete.

I'm down here helping out with a brand new event called Cabarete Summer Fest - a huge part of this event is raising money and awareness for Wishspring and a similar local project, Develop A Kid.

We've just hit a pretty serious roadbump though; the DR government promised to help out with funding the event, but they've just stiffed us.

The event *needs* money, and can't help out my foundation without having some money to help pay for all the expenses. We've already put tons of our own money into it and cannot afford anymore.

$5000 US would cover us with a bit of comfort. If ANYONE wants to, or knows someone who might want to become a large sponsor and pay (we can put your logo on anything new that we print, tell everyone at theall is well back in MN events you're a sponsor, etc.).

Please send me an email if you have any interest and include your phone number and I can call you on Skype.

thanks everyone

Hey dude!

Great to know that things are going well in the DR, except for the shady gov. That's not cool. No matter, I just tossed my cc number on the website. Way to make a difference!
