The Block Connector has one specific goal: To improve the lives of people through engagement at the community-level. We believe that change at the community level can lead to change at a global level. Potentially at-risk youth connected with a retired coach to start after-school basketball, for example. The benefits of engagement can be countless and wide-ranging. We're trying really hard to avoid the pebble-in-a-pond metaphor, but it's true.
In our experience, the communities that can most benefit are the communities that can least afford to pay for a solution. The Block Connector arose out of a desire to help communities and that's a commitment we want to honor. Rest assured, if a community can benefit from The Block Connector, a community can have The Block Connector. We won't turn anyone away.
Having said that, as we've grown in popularity so have our costs. Our ideal, and what we are working fervently towards, is to to be funded elsewhere. If we can have charities, cities, community organizations and corporations provide sponsorship, we can continue to offer The Block Connector for free. Sponsorship is a great way to show your commitment not just to community but to improving the lives of everyone regardless of age, gender, or income.
Our sponsorship options include:
