HEY EVERYONE THIS IS AWESOME AND IMPORTANT!!!
The Support All Kids Billboard Project is underway!!

From Dances With Fat and Stand4Every Body:

We are raising funds to put up billboards in high traffic areas around Atlanta with positive messages to counteract the negative Strong4Life campaign.

This campaign kicks off with our Big Fat Money Bomb on Thursday, February 2nd. The goal is to raise as much money as possible on the first day of the campaign for momentum and publicity. 

Your donation will go twice as far because the amazing people over at MOMTL (www.moreofmetolove.com) will double our donations up to $5,000!  In order to get these funds all we need to do is:

• Get $5,000 in donations
• Get 1,000 individual donors (so every little bit helps!)

Why should we put up billboards?

• We show kids of all sizes in Georgia that they are valued and supported.
• To generate media coverage that gives our credentialed experts an opportunity to educate.
• Bullies count on our fear and their money.  Putting up a billboard sends the message that we aren’t scared, and that we can accomplish something big. It tells these bullies that they can’t take our lunch money any more.

100% of the money raised goes directly to the project. Our billboards need to go up, and theirs need to come down.

Let’s make it happen starting with our Big Fat Money Bomb on February 2nd.

I can not express how absolutely excited I am about this and I am so looking forward to doing my part to help!

Some more important specifics:

Every $10,000 that we raise gives us 2 months of a billboard in a very high traffic area including all production costs.  If we exceed our goal, we will use the funds for additional time, billboards, and media campaigns including ads in Atlanta newspapers, signage around Atlanta, television segments etc.

Once we have funds we will choose a billboard from those available in the highest possible traffic area and in as close proximity as possible to an existing Strong4Life billboard.

We are holding an open submission for designs for the billboard and will vote as a community on which design(s) we will use.  If you would like to submit a design please send it to ragen@danceswithfat.org

I’ve already started the design process for my own submission!!

This is so lovely!!!

Spread the word and be prepared to give as little or as much as you can to help this project come to fruition. Remember, the Big Fat Money Bomb starts TOMORROW Feb. 2!!
