Mity Nice believes in charity and giving back – in our daily operations and after we tally up any profits at yearend.
This year, we’re planning a fall charity fun-raiser – for seven charities! This is a big undertaking for a little company, yet we can’t help but feel excited and hopeful: We want to raise awareness, raise new volunteers – and donate a healthy share of our total sales each day to good local causes.
Here’s the schedule of charities:
- Saturday, Aug. 30 9 – 3 pm on Detroit Street – Peace Neighborhood Center “Making the community better – one person at a time!”
- Sunday, Aug. 31 12-5 on Main Street – Ann Arbor Community of Traditional Music & Dance at the AACTMD’s Dancing in the Streets
- Wednesday, Sept. 3 , 9-2 Detroit Street – The Breakfast at St. Andrews “Serving those in need every day since 1982”
This was Myranda’s first performance gig. She plays with devil sticks. - Friday, Sept. 5 -3-7, Main Street – FLY Art Center “It is the art of making things happen.”
- Saturday, Sept. 6 9-3, on Detroit Street – Leslie Science & Nature Center
- Sunday, Sept. 7 11-5 on Detroit Street – Washtenaw Literacy (during the Kerrytown Book Festival) “Changing lives one word at a time.”
- Wednesday, Sept. 10 – Detroit Street – Mystery charity and closing celebration
While we have the charities, we still are looking for some fun for this fun-raiser – street musicians, performers, sidewalk poets or magicians who will join us. Interested? Drop us a line at busker@mitynice.com and let us know what charities and what days you’d like to play.
Even if you couldn’t dance or play music in public, you can participate. Share details of our fun-raiser with your friends – and bring a bunch of them down. Buy a pineapple Italian ice or a lemonade, an Italian soda or a Maize & Blueberry muffin – and we will give to the cause of the day.
Join us for seven days of sweet charity!
