Please Support My Daughter's Generation Give Back Initiative

Peace and Blessings Family and Friends,

This year my organization, Mic Check 1-Two! , has joined Sporty Marketing and The Circle Ent in planning the 2nd Annual Inter-Communal Giveback Feast & Concert. Last year The Giveback was held in West Philadelphia at Haddington Recreation Center. They fed and clothed close to 500 people with the help of volunteers and clothing & food donations from some of YOU (remember I was driving around the city stuffing my car with trash bags full of your stuff? haha).

Hunger affects close to one million individuals in the Delaware Valley. In many and various communities throughout our region families and individuals experience food poverty and live in communities that qualify as food deserts, regions with limited access to nutritious food. Residents’ low-income status affects both the quality and amount of food that enter their homes and their acquisition of other basic needs such as clothing.

We want to help and reach even more people this year, so we are engaging people earlier and moving to a new location (TBD). Starting Election Day (11/6/12) we are collecting non-perishable food items and gently-used clothing & shoes at select Philadelphia polling places and two businesses. We will continue to collect donations at area businesses and accept donations from individuals until the day of The Giveback. Please donate - no donation is too small, if you have even one shirt, one pair of shoes or one canned good we will accept and it will help those in need!

Please help us spread the word by forwarding this email or the attached flier to your network or simply by telling someone.

Look for Mic Check's article in The Philadelphia Tribune later this week (I'll send out the link when posted).


 Mark your calendars...

 ...we would love for all of you to be in attendance at The Giveback. If you want to volunteer your time (we'll need volunteers) or make a monetary donation, let me know.

   The day of The Giveback begins collection for Mic Check 1-Two! Prom Drive 013 (this year we're collecting suits!!)


Thank you for your continued support,
