Sample a Yellow Strawberry

We hope you're planning your 4th of July "Freedom from Bullying Party," which we explained in the previous blog. But there’s another way you can help us complete our unique, effective anti-bullying program for the school kids if you live in South Florida. Our great friends at Yellow Strawberry Global Hair Salon in Fort Lauderdale are giving to The Humanity Project yet again. Owner Jesse Briggs is a wonderful guy who cares about kids a lot – and is helping us to stop bullying. He also has cut the hair of some pretty famous folks over the years. If you’ve never had the chance to try upscale Yellow Strawberry, now’s a great time because it will also help stop bullying. Here’s Jesse’s generous offer: Anytime in June, bring the below coupon with you and get a shampoo, conditioner, haircut and blow dry. He’ll give us $20 toward the music video for each woman’s cut (out of the total discount price: $45 -- or see this link for other services available with discount prices and anti-bullying donations: http://www.yellowstrawberry.com/ysblog/) and he’ll donate $10 for every man’s cut ($35 total price). Please make SURE to bring in the coupon below. The offer’s not valid without this. Just copy, paste and print the coupon. Simple, right? Ask for Jesse Briggs or one of the other four talented stylists who are helping us. They’re named in the coupon. You’ll get a great cut – and help a great cause!!

Giving Help, Getting Help

We have some great news for members and friends of The Humanity Project! Our innovative, entertaining anti-bullying program for grades K - 5 has been officially approved for the sixth largest school district in the United States. In Broward County, Florida, young students will learn our message that bullying hurts everyone in school, including kids who just watch. This ties in perfectly with The Humanity Project’s mission to teach children and adults that all people are intimately connected – and that we each can live in a way that helps both others and ourself. Also, The Humanity Project proposed and now will organize and lead a major public event: the Thousand Child March. On November 16, 2008, more than 1,000 schoolchildren from grades K – 12 will march through downtown Fort Lauderdale to support the campaign to abolish bullying. This event is now officially approved by the Broward public school system, which is aggressively doing something about the bullying that is a problem in schools everywhere. You’ll be seeing a lot in the media about The Humanity Project’s march as the date comes closer.

But to do all this, we need concrete help in many forms, especially volunteers and money. The first two champions of children and safe schools have stepped forward to give us their support. The Children’s Services Council of Broward County is a venerable, tax-supported institution in South Florida doing incredible work of all kinds to help kids. A great organization staffed by hard-working, committed people. We have just learned that the Children’s Services Council will donate $1,000 toward our $20,000 + budget for the march. A big thank you to CSC for this generous help! We look forward to a long and mutually fruitful association with that wonderful group!

Also, our longtime podcast sponsor, Yellow Strawberry Global Hair Salon in Fort Lauderdale, is doing more to help us now. Owner Jesse Briggs, along with his terrific daughter, Denise, and great lifelong partner, Flo, are backing The Humanity Project’s anti-bullying efforts. First, Yellow Strawberry has donation boxes around the salon for contributions to our anti-bullying cause. Second, they have posted signs offering a terrific deal to their customers: Donate $1,000 to The Humanity Project’s anti-bullying work and get a $500 Caribbean Dream Relaxer treatment – and of course, a significant tax deduction too. Caribbean Dream Relaxer is the safe, popular new hair straightening treatment created by Yellow Strawberry and available worldwide. So it’s a win-win for Yellow Strawberry customers, who can get a lot by giving a lot. A big thank you to Jesse, Denise, Flo and everyone at Yellow Strawberry! With friends like them and Children’s Services Council of Broward County, our anti-bullying campaign is sure to succeed!
