I promised that I would explain what the Big Event is all about....
It is a time when we gather together sponsors and dream agents... together in one place to not only hear of some of the amazing projects of PI first hand, but it is a time that we step up to practice what we preach.... but first we need to be reminded what PI is all about.....
P.I. exists for 2 main reasons... To fulfill the simple dreams of the hurting, helpless and hopeless wherever we can, AND to raise up a nation of Everyday Philanthropists.
A Philanthro-who?
Philanthropist... (from the greek root "loving people") "a person who practices goodwill towards fellowmen" - Webster's Dictionary
At P.I. we believe everyone can be a philanthropist! We want to make it easy for folks to give a small gift that makes a huge impact in the life of someone who is struggling. That's why we have created our "iam1ru" on-line gift catalogue. But, what makes us unique is that we have 30 P.I. agents living around the world who are our hands and feet. We entrust them with funds,they buy the gifts and distribute them personally to those who most need them. What most people don't think about is the resources it takes to keep these 30 "Dream Agents" provided for themselves. We are committed to these amazing folks who do all of our fieldwork, and P.I. sends compensation to them on a monthly basis. You have come to know a few of them right here on this sight .....For our work to continue and to expand (to meet more needs) we need an army of "Everyday Philanthropists" who will sponsor us for just a dollar a day (get it "every day"?) We will use these funds to keep this organization healthy and strong and keep our Dream Agents mobile and active with the resources they need to meet needs and fulfill dreams on a daily basis. We are looking for people of like mind... people that believe in what we are doing ...Would you consider being an "Everyday Philanthropist" with us?
We would sure appreciate your help! And to show our gratitude, we are giving out our limited edition "iam1ru" Everyday Philanthropist t-shirt, with our thanks.
I know that many of you can not be there for the Big Event, but that does not mean you can not be a BIG part of the special night....
