I’ve had a terrible time writing this post. The problem is that I’m so excited and we’ve been working so hard to organize a fundraiser for CASH that when it came time to put it into my own words…well…for the first time in my life I’ve been rendered essentially speechless. Or typeless I guess.
We’ve just launched a new CASH Music website featuring a month-long fundraiser and more information about the organization. The feeling is one of accomplishment, though this is really only the beginning.
The site describes the fundraiser better than I could, introduces the new “different currencies, different values” copy, and announces our board. So I’ll leave the ‘official’ communication there for now. Instead, I’m going to post here every day for the rest of this month, talking about specific artists and their contributions to our fundraiser, what we’re trying to accomplish, and how things are going.
(Be warned there may be an interruption at some point. For those that don’t know me personally, our second daughter is expected right in the middle of all this…so if I don’t write, well, it’s probably for very happy reasons.)
That’s the bulk of what I’d like to say for now, save one last sentiment:
Thank you.
Thanks to the CASH board who have been so supportive and helpful as we’ve been building this organization through sheer determination. Thank you to all the artists who have so generously contributed items, music, and art to this effort. It’s been unbelievably gratifying to gain the support of people who’s work and creativity I admire so much. And to everyone that has supported CASH Music, told your friends, or sent kind words — I can’t express just the difference that it makes. Thank you.
Much more coming soon.
love you jesse! amazing work.
