Where’s the money going?
Monday, January 24th, 2011 | Hogwarts Hoot-enanny
In the past, the proceeds from OWL balls have gone to the HPA, STAND (for relief work in Darfur), and Partners in Health (for relief work in Haiti). This year, we decided to switch focus a little.
We’ll be donating to the HPA again, but this time, we’re earmarking 100% of the donation for their work with the Imagine Better Coalition, specifically their work toward marriage equality. HPA executive director Andrew Slack explains, “Named after J.K. Rowling’s quote: ‘We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better,’ the Imagine Better Coalition is dedicated to bringing together the world’s most prominent YouTube celebrities, over twenty fan communities, and best selling young adult authors toward social change – such as getting one million people engaged in marriage equality.”
OWL feels this is a timely and important cause to support. We are firmly dedicated to fighting for human rights, and that means the same rights for all, regardless of race, color, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation. We fully support the LGBT community in their fight for equality, both under the law and in the hearts and minds of their fellow human beings.
Please join us in our fight. 100% of the proceeds from the Hogwarts Hootenanny on Feb. 5 will go toward this cause.
(Plus, it’s a wrocking good time!)
