Power2Give Campaign Now Running

Sticky Post By Amanda Hudgins On June 6, 2016

RunJumpDev is now working with LexArts to help fund raise for our artists for the 2016 Rules and Play. The ongoing campaign, using the charity website Power2Give, is intended to help fund the campaign over the course of the next month. This fundraiser will help us give money to all of our artists to help cover the costs of exhibiting in our upcoming show in Lexington, KY.

This fundraiser is currently live on Power2Give, and for the first $500 we have matching donations through Baptist Health. That means for every $1 spent, we get another dollar in matching funds. This is extremely helpful for bringing interactive art to the Bluegrass and we are incredibly excited for this opportunity. This donation form is live through the end of the month of June.
