In order for us to continue this informative series, we rely on your donations. Your sponsorship of this signature series is an ideal opportunity to connect with project stakeholders, as well as key leaders and community organizers. If you support the Purple Line - this is a terrific way to let the community know it!
As you know, Purple Line NOW operates on a bare bones budget - and we spend every dime we raise on making sure the project is the best it can be by providing educational opportunities and all the other efforts we are making for those communities along the Purple Line route, by testifying before local, state, and federal entities, and by providing regular information regarding the progress and any major developments through our website, Twitter, and Facebook. Please take a moment, especially if you haven't given this year, to become a sponsor. Your name or your business name will be highlighted at all Purple Line NOW events, as well on our website, for a year following your last donation.
Sponsoring is easy - and we are appreciative of all donations, large and small. Click here to become a sponsor.
With sincere thanks for helping us to keep our own training running!
