Help Genesis achieve it's 2012 goals
Dear Genesis Supporter,
In only our 3rd season, Genesis has seen tremendous growth and achievement. Our former members are seeing great success within their own programs and schools and a family has been formed in just a short amount of time. The support we have gained over the past two years has been equally as successful!
The corps travels nearly 6,000 miles, serves 400 meals daily, and provides housing, uniforms, instruments, equipment and high-quality instruction to our members for over 2 months. Just to feed the corps everyday costs nearly $800 daily! By relying on volunteers and fundraising efforts throughout the year, Genesis can afford it's students this incredible experience for almost half the cost.
With your help we were able to raise the funds necessary to purchase an invaluable Equipment Trailer as well as the uniforms and percussion instruments necessary for our growth in membership. As our program continues to grow, so do our needs and we require proper tools and items to provide the highest level of education and health for our members and staff. A food trailer, appliances and addition instruments are the priority items on this list for 2012. These items are a necessity and will ensure the sustainability and growth we need to provide our students with the best possible tools to succeed.
Please help Genesis and it's members achieve their goals. Your tax deductible donation will go a long way in helping us provide these necessary tools to our members. Any donation is a valuable one, whether it be $500 or $5, you will be helping a tremendous group of students and young educators and will help Genesis provide this opportunity for years to come.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Arts programs across the country!
