I am seeking help on a project I am working on in which I need people to help follow up on emails and messages I had sent out seeking out in-kind donations and other requests. I would need someone to call businesses to see if A, they received the email/message and B, if they would be interested in getting involved (or, if they didn't get the email, what is a better email to use to send the message).
I have a pretty big list of companies I need help with on follow ups. I can also use help going to fast food places and other chains to seek out donations as well. Age does not matter (though I would like someone at least high school age) and I can sign off hours if needed (also perfect for internships).

Mission Statement
The mission of mentalfitness, inc. is to build mental fitness in all youth through arts-based awareness and prevention programs. We collaborate with national experts in medicine, nutrition and mental health to bring together (and create new) evidence-based programs that improve the seven protective categories of mental fitness; community connections, self-esteem, media literacy, mindfulness, body image, stress-management, nourishing body & mind.
Description
For seven years, our arts-based initiatives have provided a safe, unique and interactive launching point for discussion of complex mental health issues that face kids from all communities and backgrounds. Our goal is to build the shared protective factors and enhance mental fitness in all youth.
Why Arts?
Aside from being entertaining and engaging, performing arts, mindfulness, writing and creative art techniques have clinically shown to increase brain functioning, decrease stress and increase self-esteem. We incorporates these into our array of more than 14 initiatives. Read more about arts and the brain in this report issued by the President’s Committee on Arts & Humanities.
"The act of making art exposes a society to itself. Art brings things to light. It illuminates us. It sheds light on our lingering darkness."
Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way
