Promoting Public Health With Music
At Dropcards, we work with all types of businesses and organizations. It always strikes a chord when we find ourselves contributing to projects that give back to the community. Recently we’ve seen a burst of outreach in health education organizations. They are on a mission to inform the public on health related issues by enlisting various celebrities, media personalities and musicians.
One of these organizations is called FM World Charities. They are devoted to promoting public health as well as improving the quality of life in underserved communities. They have a great web of support in the music community, “having roots in an established record label with charity at its core”. Through FM, we had the opportunity to create cards for The Kin. These cards promote and upcoming show in which you can donate as little as $10 to attend. You can check it out here: http://www.fmworldcharities.org/events.html
Another organization we’ve has the pleasure of working with is called What’s The Word. They provide international malaria education and training. This organization backed by members of the band, The Temper Trap, offers free music in exchange for a donation to help provide mosquito nets, medicine, and malaria testing kits to people in high risk areas. Their campaign called Buzz Off, also offers artwork from contributing painters. These works have been printed on Dropcards and offer potential donators a chance to win an original work, as well as download a song. Learn more here: http://www.whatstheword.org
