Community Member Jill Hardy tells us why she gives "The 418 is an important community foundation in my life. Practices like ecstatic dance and contact improv provide a vital opportunity to get out of my head and into my body and my creativity, and to meet like-minded people who want to create an environment where we can be ourselves. It’s beautiful to me. The 418 feels like a safe home base, and I want everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy that feeling for years to com...ethat’s why I give." Join Jill by becoming a giver today, and don't forget your gift will be doubled! the418project.org/support
