Our goal is to foster a culture of hope by sharing the stories of people who are making a positive impact in the world and connecting potential volunteers and participants with accessible ways to get involved. We will share these stories through a robust website, regular email newsletter, special online projects, public exhibitions, printed publishing projects, and events.<br /> <br /> We aim to help amazing people succeed. <br /> <br /> <h1>Why does The Amazing Project need my help?</h1> <br /> The Amazing Project is completely boot-strapped and self-funded. We're doing this because we want to help amazing people share their amazing stories of hope, resilience, and ingenuity. Those are the stories that can motivate us all to take steps, both large and small, to influence the world in positive ways. <br /> <br /> We've just filed our non-profit incorporation papers with the State of New York and we're busy readying our site for launch. Legal fees, start-up costs, office expenses, and hosting fees are just some of the small hurdles we need to overcome as The Amazing Project takes off. Raffles like this one are a fun way to generate interest and funds that help make The Amazing Project a reality. <br /> <br /> <h1>How else can I help?</h1> <br /> You rock! We're looking for volunteer editors to help us compile and refine content for our initial web launch, administer our email, help with online promotion, and more. <b>Know an amazing person who is making a different in their community?</b> Please, let us know! You can email Randy (our founder) directly at:<br /><b>randy (at) amazingproject.org</b> if you'd like to get involved. <br /> <br /> <h1>Visit our website: <a href="http://amazingproject.org" target="_blank">amazingproject.org</a></h1><br /> Here you can sign-up for a newsletter where you'll find out about the launch of the site and our other amazing projects.<br /> <br /> Thank you so very much. en-us Donation from Anonymous amazingproject@pledgie.com Wed, 19 Sep 2007 09:54:54 -0700 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/331 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/331#0
