EVENT: RiseDetroit Charity Challenge
EVENT DATE: Oct 30, 2014
THE STORY:
In the City of Detroit, an estimated 800-1000 runaway and homeless LGBTQ live on the streets. Our partner, Ruth Ellis Center, served more than 50% of those youth last year.
The Ruth Ellis Center is now open 3 nights per week, providing food, clothing, beds, showers and the support to at-risk LGBTQ youth. We want to help Ruth Ellis Center open the doors for an extra night, each week, to help these youths survive the brutal Detroit winter.
FUN. and The Ally Coalition will be jumpstarting this fundraiser with a personal donation of $500, now we need your help!
From October 21-28th, we're going to be offering prizes to FUN. fans that donate towards our goal of raising $25,000 for the Ruth Ellis Center. We'll give away autographed Fun. Vinyl, Merch Prize Packs, and one lucky fan will win a personal voicemail greeting recorded by Andrew! Also, we're going to be giving away 4 amazing lower-level tickets for a home Pistons game! The tickets were generously donated by the Pistons organization, and they will be going to one local Detroit fan.
Let your friends know about your fundraising goals, and share the message on social media using the hashtag #FUN4REC. The more donations your account receives, the more entries you will have into our giveaways for prize packages!
