[FAC] OT: Creative Fresno's Mural Project

[Donavan Byrn]

Just wanted to thank everyone that has donated so far. Your support  
means a great deal!!!

If you haven't yet donated, there is still time. Remember your $5,  
$10 or even $20 will go along way in the creation of new and awesome  
murals for Fresno!



Time flies doesn't it. It seems like it was only yesterday that  
Creative Fresno's first mural was unveiled on the back wall of the  
Econo Inn in October 2004. Since then we have helped create seven  
additional murals for a total of eight in a little less than six  
years. While that is an accomplishment that Mural Project is proud of  
we are even more proud to have played a roll in the defining of a new  
neighborhood and in a small way helping to grow the burgeoning "mural  
movement" in Fresno.

So here we are. 2010 is just a few days old but promises to bring a  
lot of change and growth for Downtown. Creative Fresno's Mural  
Project expects to be a part of that change by continuing to support  
and fund the creation of exceptional and diverse mural art pieces  
throughout Downtown.

This is where you come in. We invite you to play your own role in  
Downtown by making a small donation to the Mural Project. A donation  
of $5, $10 or even $20 (or more if you're feeling sassy!) would go a  
very long way in the funding of new murals and because Creative  
Fresno is a 501c3 non-profit your donation is tax deductible! If you  
represent a company that handles wall cleaning/prep,  produces/sells  
exterior grade paint or scissor lift/scaffolding rental and what to  
help we'd love to talk to you too!

The economic situation for many is still strained so if you are  
unable to make a donation you can still play a part by forwarding  
this invitation on to others in your networks so that they have a  
chance to participate too.

Now for the fun part. Donating is super easy and can be done one of  
two ways: You can send a check or money order made payable to  
Creative Fresno (please reference "Mural Project Donation" in the  
memo/for field) to:
