City of Refuge Poem-a-thon: a 30-day writing challenge in support of our refugee neighbors!
Commit to writing something down every day for 30 days. Join City of Refuge as we learn the healing power of sharing our voices in new ways through the varying lenses of language, culture, experiences, relationships, identity, and resilience. Here’s how it works:
- Sign up and set a fundraising goal
- Rally your friends and family to sponsor you (we recommend $30 per sponsor, which is just $1/day!)
- Write! We’ll send an optional prompt to your inbox each day, and you’ll get the opportunity to share your work if you’d like (we’d love to see it!)
In addition to writing for 30 days, participants will have several in-person opportunities to write, share and connect with each other at the following events:
- March 7th 6-9pm, First Friday in the Catacombs, North Village
- March 21st 8-10am, Creative Mornings at the Montminy Gallery in the Boone Historical Center and Museum
- April 4th 6-9pm, First Friday in the Catacombs
- April 10th, City of Refuge Sip ‘n Shop
