Posted project update #2Thank You!!!
Dear Supporters of If Walls Could Talk,
Thanks to your generosity of resources, energy and networks, If Walls Could Talk reached its fundraising goal this morning!!! I cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel to this incredible community of backers and believers for making this project a reality.
As we move now to specific programming and project details, I will continue to post updates on the project that you have all made happen. Any funds raised over the goal will go towards using even higher quality/longer lasting materials and will also allow us the option to scaffold a larger wall in East Harlem. I will also post information about the mural dedications and hope that perhaps you can join us for the dedication in East Harlem.
I am eternally grateful for your support and enthusiasm for this project. Now I cannot wait to get started! I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2012 and thank you so, so much for making this idea become a reality.
Love,
Katie Yamasaki

Posted project update #155% !!!
Post CommentDear Friends, Family and Supporters,
With 24 days to go (out of a 40 day campaign), we are making wonderful progress thanks to you. Today, we reached 55% of the total goal, at $8,858.00 from an amazing 145 backers. You cannot begin to imagine how humbled and thrilled I feel by your support and enthusiasm for this project.
So many of you have tweeted, facebooked, emailed, and campaigned on behalf of the project and I am so grateful. Today I got an email from dear friends who will be hosting a fundraising event for the project at their yoga studio. Amazing.
We still have a ways to go, but with the power of networks, social media and most importantly old-fashioned perseverance, I am confident we will reach our goal. Thank you so much for your support and for continuing re-post, re-tweet and re-email the message to your networks.
Love,
Katie
