September Project 2005/ Coaltion for the Homeless
Celebrate NYC has morphed into The September Project, whose mission is to encourage and provide support to citizens who BEAUTIFY. EDUCATE. IMPROVE. their local communities. I'm working on putting together a 501(c)3 organization for The September Project.
In the meantime, this year's event is dedicated to The New York Coalition for the Homeless. I first learned of this worthy charity through LeftHanded Films' documentary for PBS City of Rich and Poor: Jack Newfield on New York. The face of homelessness isn't always what one might expect. In addition to addressing the immediate needs of the Homeless, the Coalition devotes part of their energy towards Advocacy Campaigns in State and local goverment. I am so pleased to be a part of the work they do by creating this year's event.
The September Project isn't fully realized yet. We still have a Board of Directors to cultivate, a website to build, and a host of other tasks before we are truly on our way. But I am committed to the cause, and would welcome the time and energy others are willing to contribute. There are so many ways to generate awareness and funding to fight the cause. If you would like to help a worthy cause in your area, I'd be happy to offer ideas, support and guidance. Come on! Be a "part of the answer". You know you want to...
Be sure to stay tuned for more information and updates on September Project 2005.
