SCION x-CHANGE PROGRAM — A NATIONAL NETWORK OF LOCAL NON-PROFITS, ARTISTS AND COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS IN 30 U.S. CITIES
Scion’s 2010 National x-CHANGE Program Offers A $30,000 Match Donation For Arts Non-Profits
LOS ANGELES, Calif. —Launching May 4, 2010, the Scion x-CHANGE Program will visit 30 cities around the country with two-day public fundraising events built around a geometric installation by Damon Soule. The x-CHANGE program, now in its second year, is designed to harness the passion for preserving creative opportunities and elevate localized action into a national network of nonprofits, artists, retailers and activists.
The Scion x-CHANGE Program connects people to causes with the goal of raising financial support and awareness for arts-based nonprofit programs in their area. This support provides the necessary workspaces, materials, educational opportunities and support platforms to the artists who drive the cultural identity of a city.
In 2009, the Scion x-CHANGE Program raised over $30,000 for 39 nonprofits.
This year’s program takes localized action to the next level by focusing on fundraising and establishing ongoing support and awareness for the x-CHANGE Non-Profit Network. For 2010, Scion will be matching event donations dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000.
“Scion is a brand that stands for independent thinking and originality,” said Steve Hatanaka, Scion auto shows and special events manager. “The Scion x-CHANGE Program recognizes that brand awareness can be more than purchasing ad space. It can be a catalyst for community support and artistic expression.”
