I Heart OTYF Fundraiser

Our "I Heart OTYF" online fundraiser is happening right NOW!  The OTYF team has been working tirelessly for several days to get our tshirts delivered, get gift certificates in hand, and online media coordinated.  And now we are waiting and hoping.

Here's the deal: we know that you guys have donated before.  We know that most of you are students and friends and supporters already.  We know that you might be thinking, "Again, already?" (A giant THANK YOU to those who show up on our donation registers again and again -- your support inspires us!)  If you can't donate, what we need is your help.

OTYF is a tiny, tiny, tiny organization, with a tinier budget, and a somewhat-tiny following.  Would you please take a moment and forward our website to someone you think would be interested in learning about our efforts to bring the transformative power of Baptiste Power yoga to the Middle East?  Would you please share our mission to train and support teachers to travel into dramatically underserved areas in the Middle East and teach yoga, regardless of whether or not students can afford to pay?  Would you please tell one person about how dedicated we are to creating a powerful community of teachers and students in Israeli and Palestinian communities?  

When you know someone might connect to our mission, please send them to our website at www.olivetreeyogafoundation.org

or our fundraising website at rally.org/olivetreeyogafoundation/donate

or our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Olive-Tree-Yoga-Foundation/230425636973830

Whatever we can do to grow our community deserves all the thanks I can possibly give you.
