Grant DENIED!

Well the grant that we have been holding our breath for has been officially denied. Earlier I wrote to you about the Wattis Grant which is a great arts funding foundation. We were hoping to get funding this year from this foundation to supplement another grant that we are not able to get this year.

I got the call Friday that the competition was just too tough and that the SF Hip Hop DanceFest was NOT one of the Wattis foundation grantees. OK--- Thats the way it goes right? However, we need to get some fundraising to go on if we want to see dance companies perform at the SFHHDF this year from other places besides the Bay.

SF Hip Hop DanceFest is now doing a major fundraising drive to hopefully help supplement the losses that we are experiencing in grant funding. If you go to the web site (www.sfhiphopdancefest.com) to the support page , you can learn about the ways to donate and the benefits you receive as a donor.

Also the SF Hip Hop DanceFest is doing a very special fundraiser show August 21 & 22, with an after party on Aug 22.
Stay posted on that for more details.

Love and Respect-
