Help NYC Non-Profit Music Unites Win $50K From Pepsi
Music Unites, a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to bringing music education to underprivileged children in underfunded inner city school systems, has entered Pepsi’s Refresh Everything contest, which gives grants to organizations with the most votes.
Help them win! Here’s a message from Music Unites on how you can help:
“Join our Virtual Volunteer Army by voting daily for Music Unites. You can also help out by posting to your Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. And nothing, really nothing, replaces the power of word of mouth. Tell your friends!
If we receive the grant, Music Unites will be able to keep our Youth Choir, established in conjunction with Young Audiences, running for the following three years. The Youth Choir is made up of underprivileged students throughout New York City and its five boroughs and receives music education, as well as workshops and mentoring opportunities with established and emerging artists.
The Music Unites Youth Choir, founded in 2009, had already been given amazing opportunities such as a chance to perform on a roster with Patti Smith and other legendary names at Carnegie Hall during a tribute concert to The Who. We have also, as an organization, received the backing and fundraising efforts of brands such as Interview Magazine, OK! Magazine, and Lancome, and have worked with artists such as Mark Ronson, Daniel Merriweather, Peter Bjorn & John, John Forte, Jaicko, Howie Day, Melanie Fiona, and Sting.
But, it’s not enough. And really, if Sting is on board, shouldn’t you be?
