Welcome to this special birthday edition of the SAA E-Newsletter.
Today is Dr. Suzuki’s birthday! Born on October 17, 1898, he spent the better part of his nearly century-long life helping the world to realize the amazing potential that is poised waiting to be unleashed in every human being.
SAA is celebrating this day by spreading Dr. Suzuki’s message via social media. The “Power of Community” is a week-long campaign aimed at raising funds and awareness about the SAA. The centerpiece of the campaign is a two-minute inspirational video-commercial that asks viewers for a $5 donation to the SAA. The core of the campaign is not really about the $5 donation but, rather, realizing how far-reaching our own individual impact can be when we all act TOGETHER as part of a larger community.
Our goal is to engage as many SAA members as possible and also reach beyond our membership community to other like-minded friends who would support Suzuki’s vision of excellence, art, beauty and the idea that every child CAN.
How can you help? GET EXCITED about being part of the first core group to spread the word! The SAA membership will set off a powerful chain-reaction, securing a robust future for SAA scholarships, programs and more! Throughout the coming week, share the video with families in your studio, friends, and relatives, either through email or social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
