02.18.22 — The Gear Fund Collective Benefit Show.

“Definitely ready to play a show again. I’ve truly missed it. Tickets are on sale through @beehiveslc and all proceeds go to the Gear Fund Collective.

The Gear Fund Collective are doing critical work in the community. This show has been put together in effort to raise funds in support of the collective.

There are so many economical and systemic obstacles preventing marginalized individuals and communities from accessing the outdoors in ways so many of us rarely have to consider.

We have an opportunity to support and amplify those who are working hard to tear those obstacles down. So beyond packing the venue, let’s get creative and really make this count. I know a lot of my friends have connections to outdoor brands and businesses. We still have a little time to get additional donations and funding gathered for the collective. Let’s see what we can do!”

“Sometimes our fears are not as bad as we think they are. Just big opportunities waiting to show their power in helping us grow as a person. Growth can be learning to be kind to the things that scare you. Be kind in a world that seems scary.”

Melanie Bunch

“I just completed the first draft of the cover design for this year’s Product Guide (catalog) for my company. My new design is on the right, compared to their previous design on the left. I feel like mine is an improvement.”

“Here is an example of the inside of the Product Guide I am creating at my job. The top one is their previous design, the bottom one is my update. The empty swatches on my version are due to new fabrics that haven’t arrived yet to be photographed.

So far, they seem to be pretty happy with the new design!”

“Just finished the shirt design for this year’s Burning Phoenix TKD Camp! Which will be much less “in tents” than usual….

I’m super happy about the design of this shirt, it is one of the prettiest shirts I’ve ever made. Like all of our Summer Camp shirts, it glows in the dark – see below for how it looks in daylight, and in the dark!

And if you haven’t seen the post on the Burning Phoenix School Page, you should go read it! But also, you can order your shirt here:

Turns out, that painting was not accepted. But it’s okay! Because my other entry “Ethereal” was accepted! The art center just got the names of my painting swapped 😂 but I got to go see my painting hanging and lots of other amazing pieces of art tonight!”

“Shop the Hope Collection today and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to @ourrescue in the fight to end #humantrafficking for #worlddayagainsttrafficking

Human trafficking happens all over the world, and in every state.
There are 30 million people currently in slavery, with approximately 10 million of those being children 💔

@ourrescue just rescued their 4,000th survivor, which is so amazing! But there are so many more out there that are desperate for freedom.

So visit @ourrescue to learn more about their rescue efforts and aftercare programs, and how they assist law enforcement in taking down the rings that have harmed so many people.” 💙
