Description

As a small business, for the last 10 years we have done our part to give back to the community by supporting the arts. We have coordinated and hosted many breakdancing events supporting the peaceful culture of underground Hip Hop. This year we are looking to offer our annual program to young people without having to charge admission. As part of that effort we are partnering with a local non-profit organization, Artist for Humanity to serve as our fiscal agent. Artists For Humanity's mission is provide inner-city youth with the keys to self-sufficiency through paid employment in the arts. New B Wear in a similar endeavor provides young people involved in the arts focused on the Hip Hop culture, an this opportunity to work with veterans and learn from them and at the same time teach and model for the younger ones the positive aspects of the culture.

We are turning to you to ask for you support in order to provide a four day event that will provide young people in Boston for the opportunity to participate in workshops, experience different performances from graffiti art, MCs, Break-Dancing & Street Fashion, and also healthy ways of workouts and give them all the Energy they need to the body, before competitions start. And they come from all over the country. Over the course of four days, we will serve approximately 2000 people of all ages from all parts of the world.

Imagine on June 27th walking into the Epi Center at Artist for Humanity. You first walk up to the door to notice, the 6 year old running around the location. To your right is the stairwell on the second floor that is full of spectators looking over to the main dance area. Right in front of you are several hundred people beginning to convene and small circles better known as ciphers are beginning to form. You can feel the excitement and the anxiousness from all the competitors. Against the wall you see some of the dancers warming up and stretching and helping their team members get ready. As you walk further back, you notice vendors of all ages selling their original product, some of them selling their product for the first time. You smell the wonderful cultural food that is being prepared by the organizers parents that is requested every year by all the attendees. The DJ is playing music like, funk, disco and parts of songs known as the breaks that all ages can appreciate and enjoy and represents many different eras. The more you observe, you begin to see dancers of many different types and ages teaching each other. The beginners are applauded and encouraged to continue while the veterans (participants in the scene for more than 15 years) instruct and admire the will to learn. The dancing begins as soon as the participants arrive and doesn’t end until eight hours later. This is part of what you can see and experience at (Bean-town Break-down).
Enclosed please find our (Bean-town Break-down) event description. We hope you will take the time to read the enclosed package and consider this amazing opportunity. Thanks in advance for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
