Newtown Creek Celebration Needs Your Support
Monday, July 22, 2013 | Filed in: Newtown Creek Celebration
Newtown Creek Celebration is back for 2013 and needs your support.
Above is an image from the 2012 culminating event. The project was so successful that we’ve been invited to return! We look forward to two weeks this August full of sparked curiosity, paper mache, movement, story and music, followed by a joyous outdoor celebration in McGolrick Park on August 15th that will captivate neighbors, start conversations between parents and youth, and inspire environmental action!
While we are delighted to have received modest funding from the city and state of New York to create Newtown Creek Celebration: 2013, we are still $4,500 shy of the funds we need to start the second year of this free summer program on August 1st.
Can you help us? Please click here to view our fundraising video on Indiegogo.
Don’t disappoint the more than 80 young people in Brooklyn who are looking forward to building large-scale puppets and exploring our 2013 theme: "The Tides of Change."
