From the Executive Director

POWER UP must depend solely on sponsors and individual donations to fund its Educational programs, workshops, films and services. These programs & services affect change, grow humanity and facilitate the acceptance of our community. POWER UP believes that by telling stories, we share our unique experiences, which opens the doors to awareness and breaks down the walls of discrimination. This effectuates the acceptance of Women & GLBTQ persons and creates unity and equality for all.

POWER UP has been at the helm of the production of 14 films and has been involved in dozens more. This organization has given away more than 2 million dollars in cash and in-kind gifts to storytellers to create their vision. POWER UP conducts seminars, classes and mentorships to educate facilitate and guide storytellers by making their films a reality.

In these tough times, our community must depend on the passion, support and involvement of individuals. In other words, POWER UP cannot exist without YOU.

So I reach out to all of you who:
(1) make a decent living and should "Pay it Forward;"
(2) need a tax donation before the end of 2009;
(3) are in the GLBTQ Community;
(4) have benefitted personally and/or professionally from POWER UP; and
(5) those of you who want to benefit personally and/or professionally from POWER UP; and

I ask you to help POWER UP continue and PLEASE DONATE NOW.

Together we make a difference!

Stacy
