PRESS RELEASE: SNOWBOARDS FOR KASHMIR
27 JULY 2010: Snowboards For Kashmir, A Non-Profit Corporation, has gone live at its site - http://snowboardsforkashmir.com
Your help is needed for people who will utilize the equipment & coaching our program will provide. And while I openly seek the participation of the large audience the Cause: SNOWBOARDS FOR KASHMIR application provides through Facebook, it's especially meaningful to find support here among individuals who also feel deeply passionate about winter sports.
These are people like you, though halfway around the world, who we are trying to help, and here is our program in a nutshell:
1. Purchase & ship a rental fleet to Gulmarg (20 snowboards, 20 pairs boots, 20 pairs bindings) to employ local (Kashmiri) instructors.
2. This rental fleet will be used commercially & charitably. Instructors will teach visitors for profit, and will teach local youth for free.
3. Rental fees from paying visitors will service debt on the purchase of the rental fleet. Rental fees are waived for free lessons.
This is how a simple click will help:
People like yourselves are in the first tier of membership, and may feel the most passionate about this cause, but among the least able to donate financially. No problem. Your foundation supports the second tier of membership from among we are more likely to find a corporate sponsor, or a donor who is impressed both by the cause, but also the audience it has attracted.
As members of the Cause: SNOWBOARDS FOR KASHMIR you would be included in any net cast to solicit funding but you can opt not to donate, that in no way diminishes your support.
