Bright Futures Needs Your Help
February 28, 2006

Tim and friends over at Reformation are hosting a special Benefit this Thursday to help raise money for Bright Futures Atlanta (site is slow to load, please be patient). Through art, music and other creative outlets, Bright Futures has done a lot to present positive activities to children often influenced by the dark side of inner city life.

The Organization:
Bright Futures Atlanta founded in 2002, provides unique educational, social and spiritual opportunities for adolescents and their families of the Grove Park neighborhood, an inner-city community in Atlanta, Georgia.

As a way to break the cycle of too-early parenthood, glorification of criminality, and criticism of academic achievement, a year-round program of activities, including an after-school program, summer day camps, a youth-led community outreach program, and other spiritual and physical activities, offer an environment conducive to learning for the physical as well as spiritual growth of approximately 30 of the community's middle school-aged children. Through these activities, Bright Futures hopes to achieve its goal of helping to end the cycle of poverty, violence, and low self-esteem of its community.

The Event:

For this month's "Paint In the Pods^TM" Paint installation, we are offering pieces from this student population in a wonderful "Price Pods". Each pod will offer different pricing categories ranging from $5 - $200. All proceeds will go directly to benefit Bright Future’s day to day operations, which include daily meals, transportation home, art materials and field trips.

The Location:
"Paint In the Pods^TM"
Thursday, March 2nd, 2006
7 to 10 p.m.
The Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View

This is a great cause, so if you're in and around the Atlanta area this week, I highly recommend you check this out! If you're not in the area, donantions to Bright Futures can always be submitted through their website.
