The Grassroots Campaign is Under Way

by Dennis Belmont

It’s time to gather public support for the concept! Starting today, iMAGINE Board members will begin contacting members of the creative community to educate them on the idea and solicit contributions.

The campaign is designed to create a buzz within the community, and establish a donation base that can be used to show potential donors that the idea is viable and supported by the public.

Each of the 300+ known creative firms will be asked to sign a petition and contribute $100 to show their commitment to the initiative. The funds will go towards our $250,000 goal, which will be used to fund a work plan and feasibility study. Donors names will be listed on the iMAGINE Alexandria website, and invited to attend a “Benjamin Franklin” party on July 15. They will also be encouraged to spread the word and get others to join.
