I am changing my tone today as I feel it necessary that I do so. My dear friends at the New York Aids Coalition are currently volunteering their time and have not been paid for over 6 weeks. As of March 31st it is possible that the company will be disolved completely...this cannot happen.
NYC has over 1/4 of all the HIV/AIDS cases in the country...so it is necessary that lobbying in the government and preventative care in NYC/NY state are financed programs that continue to thrive. Without the New York Aids Coalition we could lose a majority of the money that takes care of those and helps those living with HIV/AIDS today.
My friends...this is not an enjoyable time of our country...however, I will not sit by and watch people suffer. We need ways to build our soul...and there is no better way to build that than to know that you are helping a much needed cause. So this is one of many efforts that I will do to help this company thrive.
Simply just donating to any company that refrences HIV/AIDS, does not mean that the money will go to helping the New York Aids Coalition out - They need our immediate help.
FUNDRAINSING EVENTS:
How can you help? Well I would like to organize fundraising events throughout the city/state and country if possible. Shows, walks and parties focused on this behalf. Email me personally at:
wrightagency@gmail.com
Dear friends...Thank you...my goal is to help them raise at least $100,000.00 dollars doing that alone.
SUNSET CRUISE FOR CHANGE:
Then during this summer/fall we will be doing a cruise called "Sunset Cruise For Change"...for this event we will be asking major companies to take part in the necessary change to raise money and better awareness in our city/state through the New York Aids Coalition. And our goal for this event will be $500,000.00. If you would like take part in sponsoring this event...please feel free to email at:
scfccreativeteam@gmail.com
DONATING:
If you would simply just like to donate to the New York Aids Coalition...please be kind and either contact me directly at either of the above emails...or go to: www.nyaidscoalition.org or call (212) 629-3075.
Thank you for allowing me to stand on my box...and ask for help. But that is exactly what we NEED to do....HELP!
Best,
Rance Wright

GOod luck Rance...if anyone can get the fundraisers together...you can!!!
Rance if I had any money right now I would.
Coming over from Shelle's blog.... and going to talk to hubby about donating a few to help out.
I'm going to have my son donate because he's doing his history day project on Father Damien who gives hope for stigmitized diseases. My dad had HIV when he died so I'll donate too.
Good luck!
I just want to say Thank YOU for everyone responding. I know that the New York Aids Coalition thanks you as well!
Best,
Rance Wright
