Non-Profit Organization, Yehri Wi Cry, Inc. Partners With Royal Dynamite To Launch "A.R.T. For Life" Campaign
Online, March 8, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Yehri Wi Cry, Inc. will launch their "Altruism Reflected Tangibly For Life" Campaign at The Lexington Social House (1718 Vine Street, Hollywood, California 90028)on March 16, 2012. The mission of the "A.R.T. For Life" Campaign is to create an atmosphere of giving back through the hands of the "art lover."
All proceeds will benefit Yehri Wi Cry's mission to alleviate the maternal and infant health crisis in Sierra Leone, in turn saving the lives of mothers and children in the West African nation.
"We wanted to provide a way for our general audience to get involved without feeling overwhelmed by constant facts and statistics. Since art is universal and we all can relate, we figured if we could create an avenue for artists to express the seriousness of the maternal health system in Sierra Leone through their art, the message would be better conveyed and received," said Yehri Wi Cry Co-Founder and Co-Vice President, Nadia Sasso.
The launch of the campaign-taking place at The Lexington Social House- marks the beginning of the nationwide campaign. After artists have submitted electronic portfolios of their work, Facebook users will have a chance to vote on their favorite pieces. The highest voted piece will be announced on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at the Annual Green White and Blue Ball in Washington, DC.
The organization is making strides to leverage their talents and resources to advocate and fund-raise. However, they also hope to provide an essence of cultural enrichment for those interested in the cause despite age, gender, and/or nationality.
