If you have been reading this blog for a while you might know that I love Brooke White. Well, she is doing something incredibly generous this Christmas! Read on to find out more about her and her project. And to enter my giveaway!!
All of those things are wonderful, but this post is about Brooke's new project with Pledge Music. She has recently been offered a chance to donate to a charity of her choice, and she decided to double that money through Pledge Music. She chose the charity O.U.R. - Operation Underground Railroad. It is an organization that funds physical rescue missions for children who have been kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery. Pretty incredible choice right? Her goal is to raise $20,000 by December 20th, which will then be doubled by a record company and donated to O.U.R. That's $40,000! - enough to fund 2 rescue missions!
How is she raising the money you ask?
She has recorded her new album with fellow artist friends such as Deana Carter (Strawberry Wine, anyone?), David Archuleta (Season 7 Idol Runner Up), Leigh Nash (Remember Kiss Me? Former lead singer of 'Sixpence none the Richer' and current solo artist), Jack Matranga (from Jack and White)... just to name a few! It is being put on her pledge music project site, along with autographed CDs, signed guitars, handwritten song lyrics (what I would have loved to order!), etc. Some of the other artists are offering up signed albums and vinyl as well! All of the physical CDs of Brooke's also come with a digital download of the new album! - including her sweet indie Christmas album!
Helping with this project is simple. Go to the site, make a 'pledge' (pick what you want to buy!), pay, done! The digital download of the album is just $10! -you can't beat that, especially since the proceeds are going to such an amazing cause!
She recently released some of her tracks on the site, and after listening to them I can say that I cannot wait to receive my CD in the mail!!
A few years ago I was lucky enough to be in Phoenix while Brooke & Summer were doing an event presentation on choosing glasses. I drug KC along, and we learned about frames for your face shape, and then Brooke was kind enough to help me look at glasses for a while! I of course, acted like a spaz, with things like 'I was so sad when they kicked you off idol!' coming out of my mouth. To which she responded 'me too,' she wasn't sarcastic or mad, she was just kind and real. -Which is always the vibe that I got reading an Instagram post or tweet from her. She's extremely genuine.
So this Christmas I hope that you consider purchasing her album, or donating to her cause in some way. I know that it would be a gift to her and the others involved in the project, but more importantly it would be the gift of safety and a happy life for many children! So check out her site, make a pledge, listen to the tracks, read about the cause in her own words... you just might fall in love with all of this too! Even tweeting and sharing her site or this giveaway can help raise money!
