I just think this is the best way to put those extra supplies, just taking up space, to a great use ...

Brainforest, a creative agency in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago, discovered a surplus of useful material sitting around when they moved 4 years ago.

Instead of pitching or allowing the stuff to accumulate more dust, they donated these art supplies to a neighborhood school, and CreativePitch.org was born for the Chicago area. The idea is to provide working art teachers, who are sometimes battling a budget of $1/student, with materials that they would not normally have access to (quality paper, markers, callage material, etc).



How to help?

If you live in Chicago, contact Brainforest or CreativePitch.org.

If you live elsewhere: donate to your local school, contact creativepitch.org about starting your own local branch location, or donate money to CreativePitch.org to help spur development of their National Creative Pitch initiative.
