Thank you to Ulysses for donating some dope kicks for our teens to restore & for sharing your wisdom! We are now open for you al to drop off your sneakers for a cleaning service or to donate - you can get a tax deduction for your donation, if you like. Message me to set up a time...

The great photos on the wall are by Lara Kaur - join us Sunday August 4th for a day party celebrating the exhibit.

Thank you, friends! You did it, with 10 minutes to spare (!)

I deeply appreciate your generosity, your commitment to The Town and our youth, and your faith in me to carry out this kinda unprecedented community project. Now the fun starts: let's unleash that creativity and fire up the sustainability index!

Literally, each of your donations made this possible, and ALSO, I want to extend a very special thank you to some of the "heavy lifters" - Olivia Cueva, Jodie Tonita, Danielle Roundtree, Jessica Tully, Cari Borja, Sabrina Kwist, Mervyn Marcano, Jason Chipsnguac, Ryan Ringholz, Krys Freeman, Jonathan Missner, Kyle Valiton, Chad-Henry Goller-Sojourner, Caroline de Baere, Noel Rabinowitz, Pao Colibri, and Joaquin Amaru. If I left you out, I apologize - please know I appreciate each of you.

AND we are still accepting donations - the $15k was actually simply to fund the most basic costs - so please chip in if you can:
