Greetings everyone :)
On this eve of Thanksgiving 2023 we would like to give thanks to all of our supporters during this holiday season.
We have so much to be thankful for! So far in 2023 we have awarded #YESPVD “Pay It Forward” Scholarships; Hosted two #TURNUPRI youth events both in the Spring and Fall; Hosted and participated in various panels to further our social impact discussions; We advocated with Juneteenth RI and others as we spearheaded the passing of the bill to make Juneteenth a Paid State Holiday starting in 2024. This was also a strategic move for black economic development. Juneteenth Holiday Weekend 2024, “Buy Black!”; In August we celebrated another RI Black Philanthropy Month with the establishment of our Legacy Fund with the Rhode Island Foundation who will manage the endowment; Recently honored as The Rhode Island Foundation’s 2023 Philanthropy Partner on National Philanthropy Day and we are still going!
To wrap up 2023 during this holiday season we ask for end of year support. There are a few ways to support. Check out the list and click links below:
#MUSEOFRI Community Awards Event (Limited Black Friday Special Ticket Sale)
#TURNUPRI Black Friday / Cyber Monday Supply-Incentive Drive
#RIBPM Giving Tuesday Campaign (via The Rhode Island Foundation)
Now as we are about to enter our 3rd year of The MUSE Foundation in 2024. We are excited to keep moving forward. Starting with Black Policy Month Rhode Island in January.
We hope you continue your support and we hope you enjoy your holidays during this giving season.
Warmest Regards,
Juan Wilson Jr
