Happy Earth Day!

Give thanks for Mama Earth, and for all that she does for us and all that she makes possible. She has given us everything, asking nothing in return. This Earth Day, may we reaffirm our commitment to living lighter on Earth. May we reaffirm to do our part to heal institutions and norms that perpetuate the degradation of the natural systems which support life on the planet. I say this in full knowingness that as we heal our relationship with Mama Earth, we heal our world and ourselves.

It is with deep appreciation that I write you today. Thank you so much for being a supporter of Pacha's Pajamas and BALANCE. With your support, we have crossed many rivers including our first major award nomination - Best Children's Music album by the Independent Music Awards - and the launch of a national program bringing transformational entertainment to hospitalized children called Imagination Heals.

And, notably, with your support, we have finally finished a video for our song Nature Superhero. It also happens to be the campaign video for "Heal Our World <--> Heal Ourselves," If you like it, please comment on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or our website. 

We want to make a big splash today, and through the week, and we're going to need your help.

If possible, please send an email today or whenever you can to your friends and colleagues as below. If you have any questions about communications or want to help, contact dave@pachaspajamas.com.

Thanks!
Dave and Aaron

Season greetings!

At this time of the great consumer rush, we are asking our amazing Pacha's Pajamas community to come forward and help us in an experiment of gift-giving. As you may have heard, we have launched a program of FREE books and CDs to children's hospitals across the country, as their is an exciting demand for our musical story from hospitals across the country! You might almost say that our music is "Doctor Prescribed. In fact, according to Kaiser Permanente, studies show that music can reduce depression and anxiety, calm us down and offer relief for chronic pain. To that end, please consider a tax-deductible donation for a package of 7 CDs for $99.00 delivered to the hospital of your choice.  Donate Now!

We have a NEW SINGLE for all you who might celebrate Christmas or the principles behind this celebration. Who doesn't love a 13 year old named Ashlie Cortez, singing her heart out for the families out there! Get your FREE DOWNLOAD here!

Dear Pacha's Pajamas family!

We are heading into the prime gifting season. In order to best prepare ourselves, we ABSOLUTELY need your thoughts, ideas and feedback.  

We have a short survey. It will only take a few minutes to fill out. 

Please take a few moments with our survey at your earliest convenience: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDVGaDdBeHlUOGo4MkNIaWNqWk1YN1E6MQ 

It will REALLY help us.

Thanks

Great News!  Here are three quick things that will make a big difference for Pacha but won't cost you a dime. Do one, two or all three.  Thanks for all that you do :)

Share the Magic of Nature Superhero

One of our lead singles - Nature Superhero - just got added to the Radio Disney Junior rotation!  Radio Disney is the premiere nationwide musical programming for kids. One of our kid stars, Lil JaXe, posted a video for the song to his page! Watch, like, comment on it and share :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAX9JvN0yHU

And if you feel inspired, call (or inspire a kid to call) the Radio Disney Request Line at (877) 870-5678 and ask them to play Nature Superhero.

Watch the I Found My Music video  

Yea!  The I Found My Music video has almost 10K views on Youtube. And we need more comments, likes and shares. Click through and weigh in. If you feel inspired, by all means share the joy! Let's make this one go viral or better yet, spiral :)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufqvQh2qyZ4 

We have also submitted the video to MTV, Canada's MuchMusic, and Nickelodeon!

Write a Review for the Album 

One of the most powerful things that you can do is write an iTunes or Amazon review for the album.  Don't worry - it will only take a few minutes even if you've never done it before. They are looking for one paragraph or less. If you don't know how, take a look here. 

Want More Ways to Help?

At the request of one of our amazing backers John Griffith, we have put together a Pollinate for Pacha page that outlines a bunch of ways you can help spread Pacha's message to as many children as possible.
