Our Ocean State Job Lot Challenge

$15,000 Challenge for 2010

We are so happy for our 5th annual matching challenge from our friends at Ocean State Job Lot in Rhode Island.  Cinnabar is a safe after-school venue where children work together and stay out of trouble. Young people who don’t fit in elsewhere, many of them considered at-risk, find Cinnabar a place to excel, gain respect from peers, and build self-esteem. Classes address the dearth of activities for bored, unsupervised children and the lack of performing arts background in the culture of today’s youth. If we can raise 15k in our community, they will match us with 15k and thus double our money for the Youth Program at Cinnabar Theater. 

Our sincerest thanks to Ocean State Job Lot for challenging our community to match their $15,000 donation for this years Chili Cook-off. Donations are matched up to 15k, so please help us fill the chili pot with lots of beans.When you are visiting the New England area, please drop into one of their 85 stores and say "Hey and Thanks", from their Chili friends in California! They have helped to make these 5 years our best ever!
