Every week, we give team members at Indiegogo an opportunity to talk about the campaigns that have caught their attention. Here’s what we were talking about this week:
Adam
Dance Off Central: Challenge your friends to an online Dance Off!
Location: Burbank, California
I want to see this used as an international conflict resolution tool: Red Sox vs. Yankees! Shiites vs. Sunnis! Me vs. YOU!
Alice
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia
A great way to support the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Bosco
Control Tower – Big, Interactive art at Burning Man 2013
Location: Reno, Nevada
Burning Man art project – from the same folks who brought us the Temple of Transition in 2011. It will be awesome! Nuf said.
Bre
Detroit Achievement Academy: Opening An Amazing Charter School in Detroit
Location: Berkeley, California
Bret
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
This campaign really speaks to the core of Indiegogo…help empower widows in India to make a living and a place for themselves in Indian society.
Carrie
Soccer Program in Rural Zimbabwe
Location: New York City, New York
Crista
Hanneke Cassel’s NEW RECORDING
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Check out this fun campaign video and support the work of an established artist making her 5th album! If I could, I would put in $1,000 to experience the “Beyonce Workout” and “some craziness.”
Daniela
Location: Bronx, New York
It’s so inspiring to see students turn to Indiegogo to fund service trips both big and small! Helen Reinhold is funding a trip to Bethel, Alaska as part of Fordham University’s Global Outreach program, and is giving her generous funders a unique way to share in her experience. Perks include personal Skype sessions, video and photo documentation of the trip, and of course some necessary swag: an irresistible limited edition GO! Alaska t-shirt. Let’s help Helen reach her goal!
Kate D.
Waveborn – Shades That Give Sight
Location: Washington, D.C.
Buy some rad sunglasses and give the gift of sight.
Liz
A Dream School for the Village Children of Cambodia
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Having recently visited Cambodia and seen both it’s incredible beauty as well as some of the remnants the horrible Khmer regime I’m pleased to see this campaign raising money for the “Seametrey” school which “stands for Freedom, Civilization and Love.” They have a great breakdown of their expenses too so you really know what your contribution is going toward.
Maggie
Location: San Francisco, California
MELVOY are an awesome band that have made great progress on their own so far, releasing a debut EP produced by Grammy award winner Ikey Owens, of the Mars Volta and Jack White Band fame. Contribute to this campaign and help them take it to the next level to record their next album in BERLIN with Strokes producer Gordon Raphael.
