  Hi, Brandon, Mike, Jose, Chris and Ben! :D

  First, I would like to say thank you for being awesome life examples. MYF is awesome organization. I love that it's from and for the fans. Thank you for the recent donation to Padang, West Sumatra. Also Philippines and Samoa. New lives will regenerate and my prayers are with them.

  I have been trying to do an Incubus Gathering Night in Jakarta, Indonesia. My goal is to get together Incubus fans of Indonesia and raise money for MYF. Now it is appropriate to say that I want the funds to go to Padang since I am from Indonesia. I hope I can make this happen faster as they need as much aid as possible.

  Thanks for being such wonderful soul motivators.
  LOVE YOU GUYS TO THE CORE.
  Honest and truly,
  Chydie from Indonesia

  Bands For Lands

  Hey guys,

  My name is Baird Duschatko and I am the Creative Director of the 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, Bands For Lands. Our mission is to communicate the message and teach the practice of sustainability, conservation and social responsibility through co-creation between communities, the creative arts and inspirational leaders of the Green Revolution. The majority of funds raised at our events are allocated to local organizations aligned with our mission.

  There are a growing number of humans who have awakened to the fact that in order to preserve our planet for generations to come, there must be profound change in our individual and community-based worldview. Advances in sustainable development are all innovative and presently accommodating (e.g. recycling, renewable energy, composting), but they are not the solution to the whole problem. These efforts are a good beginning, but in the entire scheme of things they are ineffective because of the global acceptance of an antiquated, dirty and ecologically harmful energy system. The global energy system has finally entered into the realm of change, but it is only the very beginning. We need to scrap the old system entirely and evolve into a new system, and that evolution comes from within the social and political structure of our local communities. Bands For Lands provides an innovative and viable way to gather local communities together to realize their inner potential not only as creative beings, but also as stewards of the Earth.

  Bands For Lands feels the best way to inspire, awaken and empower is through the creative arts and direct involvement with local community organizations. Our vision is simple, but our journey is long and complex. We are in need of funds in the form of tax-deductible donations from individuals and businesses like you that believe that the current global system needs to change. Our yearly budget is $163,100, and we are seeking individual donations of $25-$1000. We have currently raised $10,000 from local venues, grants and personal loans, have a growing spring and summer schedule of events and appearances booked, and continue to align ourselves with leading edge captains of the Green Revolution. Your contribution will go directly into taking the evolution gear out of reverse and shifting it into forward.

  By partnering ourselves with organizations and individuals such as you who are working towards a sustainable, conservation-oriented and socially responsible America, we are creating a network of conscious Americans. We are calling for all humanity to each realize their true potential, tap into their inner creativity, and create a planet that will thrive over infinite generations.

  It would be an honor to have someone of your stature and influence support our cause and be an integral part of Bands For Lands’ mission. We will actively promote Make Yourself Foundation as being a BFL supporter on all of our promotional materials and website, you will have full access to all of our monthly reports and upcoming projects, full VIP access to all of our events, opportunities to speak or perform at any of our events, and a permanent seat on our advisory committee.

  If you would like to learn more about our organization, and receive our partner/sponsor package, please drop me a line at the address below.

  Thanks very much for your time, and I look forward to your reply.

  In our creativity, in our compassion, and in our community lies the solution.

  Yours very truly,

  Baird Duschatko
