H.O.P.E. Garden Crew has a funny idea – let’s all hang out together.
We believe there is no better way to build a movement than by first sharing in what makes each other happy. So this summer, we thought: movies! Our little 1.4 acre community garden has been approved for an ioby.org limited-time matching fund: from now until April 15, kind souls who donate up to $150 will have every dollar doubled! We are so hoping to reach our $2096 goal in time. Here is the link: https://www.ioby.org/project/
From May to October, we hope to offer an estimated 21 screenings to approximately 500 guests who might never meet each other, otherwise. Discussions and community announcements to be held afterward.
[NOTE: Mosquitoes will most assuredly not be invited. All will be barred from entry employing every natural defense mechanism at our disposal. Sorry, mosquitoes.]
We are also offering a choice of any of these sparkling, one-of-a-kind conversation pieces to those who donate:
– $25: a delicious bag of popcorn in a flavor of your choice* plus your name in the program.
– $50: a delicious bag of popcorn in a flavor of your choice*, as well as front-row seating at an upcoming film night plus your name in the program.
– $75: a delicious bag of popcorn in a flavor of your choice*, front-row seating at an upcoming film night, your name in the program, and a special privilege to help determine the film screening schedule!
–$100: a delicious bag of popcorn in a flavor of your choice*, front-row seating at an upcoming film night, your name in the program, a special privilege to help determine the film screening schedule, and a COMMEMORATIVE brick on the WBCG mural with a message of your choosing.
* (Seriously, if it exists as a flavor, we’ll make it for you – brown sugar, sriracha, garlic parmesan, orange creamsicle, wasabi? You name it.)
