Rocket Hub Donation Link:: http://www.rockethub.com/projects/6499-help-eac-fund-survival-of-the-bands Emerging Artists Connect (EAC) is reaching out to it's members for help in funding the 2 part Zombie themed extravaganza: Zombie Walk Down Bedford & Survival Of The Bands. We've created this video to tell you a bit about ourselves and give you a more in depth perception of why we need the funds, and what we plan on doing with them. We appreciate any amount donated, it really does go a long way! Emerging Artists Connect (E.A.C.) is a non-profit artist coalition that mainly hosts networking events for artists in different mediums by turning Rock Venues into Pop-Up Galleries. Survival Of The Bands is a Zombie themed Battle Of The Bands followed by a Zombie Walk that will take place down Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Why Start A Rocket Hub? E.A.C. is trying to raise funds for the $500 cash prize for the winning band as well an extra $500 to help us cover costs for supplies, zombie makeup, props & venue fees, a total of $1000. We've had over 700 applications for this contest and we're expecting an average of 600 people to attend our Zombie Walk! We really need the help making sure that this night is unforgettable, and we want to do our artists justice by being able to afford to put on a great event! Our Goals To Raise: $500 for the Winning Band's Cash Prize $300 to cover the rest of our venue fees $200 to pay for Zombie Makeup & Props for our guests. _ 12:00pm: Face Painting & Zombification Begins @ McCarren Park 4:00pm: Walk Begins Down Bedford Ave. Williamsburg, BK 5:00pm: Walk Ends @ Knitting Factory, where Zombie Walk guests will be encouraged to continue their festivites at the Zombie Walk After Party &Contest "Survival Of The Bands." This event is primarily fueled through volunteer efforts and donations (though we are eternally grateful to our funders). But there are always expenses that volunteerism can't cover and that's why we've launched this campaign to raise money to cover project expenses.
