THE CULTURAL SUMMIT INITIATIVE
As the current media and entertainment industries are a major source of cultural problems, the people of the United for Life Foundation reasoned that an alternative to the media and entertainment industries was needed. This alternative should utilize the Internet, television/film, publication, and live performance to encourage family solidarity, lady-like and gentlemanly behavior, and stewardship. In this way there can be a significant reduction in the problems that the media and entertainment industries encourage. The plan to create alternative media, art, and entertainment is called the Cultural Summit Initiative.
THE PROGRAM OVERVIEW
We are training students in our internship program, utilizing the Internet, television/film, publication, and live events to give students experience for their resume, a chance for them to help in the community, and, with your generosity, payment for their work. We are also developing a program to outsource students to other non-profit organizations. Finally, we are creating an online community for students and student organizations that promote cultural reform.
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS:
THE SOCIETY FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
We are giving young professionals a whole new way to look at the arts, providing mainstream entertainment that is healthy, educational, and cutting edge. Our first event is The Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Ball, produced by the United for Life Foundation. The Ball features big band music and provides an exhibit presenting famous ladies and gentlemen of history, as well as instruction on how to act as a lady and as a gentleman. We are planning on having at least four such events throughout the year. We are also creating an online community website for young professionals.
Using our college interns, we have begun creating an online Family Resource Center, which will provide original articles, resources, and critical information about early childhood development, nutrition, medical and legal aid, family counselors, housing, health insurance, child care, and more, as well as sources for spiritual and personal development. With your help, organizations in our community will have access to this resource center so that those in need can begin to make a change for the better.
Our patrons want to know “cutting edge” information about the United for Life Foundation, and we will provide that information at our fundraisers. We also want our fundraisers to showcase our mission. For this reason, our fundraisers will explain our principles while exhibiting artistic expression and providing entertainment. It is our way of saying “thank you.”
