We are!
I am grateful for the organizations and individuals who sponsored Solstice Sing for Peace in 2008 and 2009. Their donations provided goods for singers, services to keep SSP running (video, computer, business cards, etc) and cash to pay for mailings.
But when I think about it, sponsorships distract from the real purpose of Solstice Sing for Peace. This grassroots movement does not need donations of goods or services distributed around the world. Solstice Sing for Peace needs you and me!
Who’s sponsoring Solstice Sing for Peace 2010?
I am “sponsoring” a small gathering of loved ones singing on the New Hampshire coast. I’m not seeking goods or services. We only need our voices!
You can “sponsor” your event in whatever way you choose. If you create a public event and plan to invite thousands of people, your needs may be more complex. Sound equipment and venues do cost money. Consider singing in a public space, where permits and fees are not required, where you can raise your voices in peace, for peace, with neighbors, friends and complete strangers.
