The Aliveness Project is raising $2.5 million through its Positive Impact campaign.  We would like you to participate in building impact through our “Brick buy brick” initiative.  This is a grass roots effort to involve the community to compliment our capital campaign efforts seeking large donations.  This is a great opportunity for you to help us reach our goal so that we can continue the renovation of our new building so that we can begin providing even more services to those living with HIV/AIDS.  This is a great way for you to contribute to the actual brick and mortar of our new facility.  Use this opportunity to remember or honor a loved one, have a brick named after yourself, or show your support in another way of your choosing.  Here are some samples:

          

         

We are selling 4x8 bricks for $100.00 and 8x8 bricks for $250.00.  The bricks will become a part of our new facility. The 4x8 brick will have space for three lines, eighteen characters per line and the 8x8 brick will have space for six lines, 18 characters per line.

The Aliveness Project currently serves twice as many individuals living with HIV/AIDS as we did 10 years ago—Our organization has long since out grown the 7,000 square foot building it purchased in 1987, located at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis. The building is simply too small to serve the rapidly growing numbers of people who seek and often desperately need our services. In June 2009, The Aliveness Project officially launched a $2.5 million Capital Campaign for the purchase and renovation of a larger, newer space at 3808 Nicollet Avenue South, just 10 blocks west of the current site.

With your positive impact – just think what we can do with our new 18,000 square foot building!
