I  am writing to tell you about an exciting new opportunity for Brooklyn Rescue Mission! We have been selected by the GlobalGiving Foundation to participate in its Urban Farming Open Challenge, a fundraising opportunity to help urban farms throughout the US who are bringing the good food revolution to their local communities.

In order to succeed in GlobalGiving’s Open Challenge,  Brooklyn Rescue Mission  must raise $4,000 from 50 donors by October 7, 2010 (23:59:59 hours, EDT). If we meet this threshold, we will be given a permanent spot on GlobalGiving’s website, where we have the potential to benefit from corporate relationships, exposure to a new donor network, and access to dozens of online fundraising tools. In addition, we could earn as much as $10,000 in financial prizes for raising the most money.  Please donate $ 1, $5  or  $10 dollars  or more  to Brooklyn Rescue Mission and help us  train community  youth,  thru our Building an Aquaponics Center in Brooklyn.

Please help us reach the threshold of $4,000 from 50 donors! Be one of the first people to make a donation at www.globalgiving.org/6401 !

Not only will your donation help  the Youth of  Bed-stuy benefit  from a farm internship,  gain educational  knowledge , life soft skills.   A successful  challenge will help us take advantage of a long-term fundraising opportunity!
We’re also going to need your help spreading the word! Please share this opportunity with your friends and family! 

 

Thank you, as always, for your continued support!
Best,
