Annie's InsideOut Write-A-Thon Fundraiser

From August 18-22, I have committed to writing for 30 minutes each day to support InsideOut's Write-A-Thon fundraiser. With your sponsorship, we will help to share the gift of voice for a lifetime with students!

For over 25 years, InsideOut Literary Arts has helped Detroit’s youth build their literary and academic skills through creative writing. By working with professional writers, students learn to think broadly, create bravely and share their voices with the wider world. Learn more and become inspired at insideoutdetroit.org.

In January, my best friend AJ moved to Detroit and began working for InsideOut. I couldn't have been happier for him, as I knew how much creative writing has helped him process and express his feeling, hilarious self throughout his whole life. As a teenager, I felt the same, and have an entire bookshelf dedicated to my rambling diaries to prove it. I haven't journaled since I was a teenager, and my creative writing has been limited to moments of extreme emotional duress. I am hoping to make creative and reflective writing a more regular part of my life, and am excited to support and organization that helps young people find their voice on paper.

Will you join me in supporting InsideOut Literary Arts by making a donation to my Write-A-Thon fundraiser? I hope to raise $400 and every dollar helps! InsideOut Literary Arts is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Thank you!
