Newark Based Glassroots Needs Your Help





HELP SUPPORT NEWARK BASED GLASSROOTS AS IT REBUILDS FROM A FIRE!

GLASSROOTS, Newark's own magical non-profit glass hotshop, needs your help!  Last month a PSEG utiltity fire in front of our building caused damage to our equipment, and we're holding an online fundraising campaign to raise money for new equipment.  Our campaign on the Indiegogo website is HERE.  And if we get 30 new donors in the by August 10, an anonymous donor will give us an extra $2500!   Please consider making a gift - we have great perks for donors, and we'll appreciate every contribution.   And please, share this campaign with all your friends and on Facebook, and Twitter.  There are great sharing tools on the Indiegogo website.

At GlassRoots we use the power of glassmaking to engage and change the lives of underserved Newark youth. Time and time again we've seen a disengaged, trouble-bound young person transformed by the fascination of glass. If you want to find out more about what we do at GlassRoots, check out our website HERE.  Our students talk about what GlassRoots means to them HERE. 

GlassRoots is about kids, art, education, glass, business skills, and so much more. We appreciate your every contribution and your sharing of this wonderful organization! 

And don't forget - there are great gifts and perks for donors! Again, the fundraising website is HERE.  And we need 30 new donors to get $2500! Thank you so much!

The Painter Eva Hesse

The hell with them all. Paint yourself out, through and through, it will come by you alone.
