Fantastic News: The Fall 2011 Tour Is On!

Update #5 · Oct 20, 2011 · comment

Good Morning, Everyone!

We are TREMENDOUSLY grateful for your support. Thank you for giving a damn, telling a friend, and most importantly - BELIEVING.

Now, we have great news:

Today, an anonymous source contributed a very generous amount of money to support our mission - enough to finance a significant portion of the fall 2011 tour and successfully get us to ALL 15 schools on our schedule.

Isn't that great? We think so, too! But here's the thing:

YOU will not be charged for what you've pledged, but we would LOVE to still have you on board as a proud supporter of the Hall Pass Tour. So, if you're still interested in donating the amount you pledged to the tour and backing our mission, please click here: Donate to the Tour ;]

The reward package that you selected will still apply, but with even more special bonuses from the team.


Why the change in direction?

Well unfortunately, our anonymous source is not in a position to use Kickstarter. So after much thought - given the time left on this project, Kickstarter's "all or nothing" policy and the amount left to raise - we decided that it's best to end our #20BY20 campaign early. 

But - this tour is happening!

The Hall Pass Tour is a small, dedicated team of 5. Without all the effort and support from you, we may not be in this position. Thank you so, so much again for BELIEVING in us. 

We're looking forward to your continued support. 

Sincerely,

Holley

Happy Friday!

We got a friend of ours to whip up some choreography, have been rehearsing for two weeks and rain or shine - we are flash mobbing today! That's right! Alter your lunch plans and find us at 1pm in the busiest part of NYC that rhymes with "Movin' Chairs."

You're getting backstage access to a concert of your choice and a photo with the entire team and all of the student performers. (Note that this means there’s a VERY strong possibility that we’ll bring you out on stage to personally thank you and embarrass you with flowers and a stuffed animal of some sort -- elephant has a nice ring to it).

    Wow. You donated $5,000? Surely you were an angel in a past life. On top of the package above, tour creators, Holley and Janelle, will meet with your group/organization/initiative for a creative strategy session on how you can help underserved students in your community -- we will travel to anywhere in the U.S., as long as your office has windows and good coffee -- Janelle digs coffee, they both dig sunlight, hence the window request.

    Well, you’re a godsend. But of course, you already knew that. We considered naming our first born after you but -- if one of us has a daughter and your name is Bradley or Robert (or something testosterone-y), welp! -- that’s just awkward. Seriously, a million thank yous wouldn’t be enough, neither would all of the items listed above but you'll get it all and at the end of the fall 2011 tour, we’ll be sending you a framed poster with personal thank yous from the team and EVERY student performer, a custom-made plaque in honor of your incredible contribution and a DVD giving you full access to the behind the scenes of the tour.

    Estimated delivery: Dec 2011
