As many of us are already aware, small businsses took a big hit during the height of the pandemic last year. For us, the second half of March, and all of April, May, and June were less than optimal (to put it nicely) as far as revenue goes for Key of Awesome Music. However, we pushed through, kept ourselves relevant with Facebook Lives, doing pro-bono/volunteer sessions, and, in the meantime, created new relationships with various non-profit organizations, support coordinators, and virtual event companies (Busking Down the House and the Inclusion Festival).
In providing what we feel are fun, meaningful, and educational music sessions, we were put on another non-profit organizations radar, One Good Deed.
On January 20th, we were awarded a sizable check to help make up for some of the losses we incurred during the height of the pandemic from #OneGoodDeedNJ. With that, we wanted to take the time to formally thank them and provide a little more background on them in the event you might be interested. For them, it's simple. They see the need to support local businesses who are doing good work in the community, and have a grassroots approach at raising funds to do so. Their goal is to support as many small businesses as they can with all of the proceeds that come in. That's right--100% of any donations go right into support small businesses. How amazing is that?
So, if this sounds like an organization you'd like to support so they can support small businesses of their choosing, here's how you can reach out to them to make a donation:
1. Email: onegooddeednj@gmail.com to nominate a small business in NJ to receive funds.
2. Find them on Facebook and send a message. Their facebook page is: www.facebook.com/onegooddeednj or Facebook.
3. Go right to their GoFundMe page and make a donation. Their GoFundMe page is: https://www.gofundme.com/f/one-good-deed-keeping-small-businesses-alive?fbclid=IwAR0qT45fKROXBXC-5GLmwHQ1P3xd08GAZ1X-FgR1hoVY-f5CZk6mVlQc_ac or GoFundMe.
We couldn't be more proud and honored to have received support from them, and only hope to further their cause of giving back to the community.
Have a great day and happy giving!
