I'm so so proud to announce the official launch of Entertainment 2 Affect Change, a brand new nonprofit started by Ryan Gielen, Patrick James Lynch, Jared Craig and myself.
E2AC is dedicated to creating entertainment and live events that improve the lives of people living in minority health and/or social communities. Our mission is to improve the overall quality of life for people in these communities through new media, film, art, live performance, and social media. We educate on health & wellness, and overall inspire folks to improve self-care and pursue fulfilling lives.
Some of you know - I've been doing volunteer projects for years, mostly playing nursing homes, hospices, and hospitals in my spare time.
To be completely honest, my role has mostly been to cheer from the sidelines while the guys put incredible, life-changing work into the world. Also, they are stupid-talented (their mokumentary-style comedic webseries "Stop the Bleeding" is a fucking riot and I highly recommend spending the remainder of your afternoon watching it).
And this is just the beginning.
To learn more about E2AC and the awesome projects we've got underway, "like" us on Facebook, then hop on over to www.e2ac.org.
More to come!
