Still Moving Forward!
Hello beautiful people! Things have been moving along behind the scenes and I wanted to give you all an update.
So, over the past few months I’ve had the honor to be apart of the Motor city match program here in Detroit. This program helps business owners in the city fulfill their vision from start to finish. I’m proud to say that we were awarded the “Make a Plan” award which gave us $1,000 in technical support and a 6 week class to help us create a sound business plan taught at TechTown through LifeLine (they were amazing!).
Now, through this class I have decided that we can have a bigger impact if we focus on helping our schools, churches, community groups, youth teams and the similar with fundraising using our t-shirts customized for the group.
I’m really excited about this shift because we will be able to raise thousands of dollars for our local schools and groups, feature local artist, inspire and empower our city even more! This wouldn’t be possible if you didn’t believe! You made this happen and I’m so grateful. We will make a difference.
Sincerely thank you,
Kellen

We’re Still Here Detroit!
Hey everyone,
I had to take some time out to remind everyone that Detroit Reborn is still out here working toward our goal of opening a community storefront in the city of Detroit. I have been spending countless hours studying and learning more about what can make this even more of a success.
I’ve also been scouting out buildings and speaking with owners to find something that will get us started with phase 1 of our rollout. I’m dedicated to the mission of empowering Detroiters to create something for ourselves using the help from each other. If you want to help, purchase a shirt under the store tab above or donate to our gofundme campaign here Thank you!

Detroit Reborn Photoshoot by Jalissa Gray Photography
Our friend and supporter Jalissa Gray of Jalissa Gray Photography believes in Detroit Reborn’s mission of community empowerment so much that she donated her time, talent and gas to take some awesome pictures at some famous downtown Detroit landmarks . Community entrepreneurship through our co-working space will become a reality with so many great people on our side! Detroit T-shirts to create the lives we wish to live for us and the community.
She also took some shots at our pop-up booth at Gibraltar Trade Center last weekend.

Gibraltar was a success!
The love and support was awesome!
So many nice people stopped by our booth I can’t wait to do it again!

The Goal: Sell 1,000 shirts in 30 Days to Open Community Storefront
The Deadline: 4/23/15
Very doable that’s 1,000 divide by 30 which is only 33.33 shirts a day, so if you are reading this you can help. You can buy a shirt and share this page with your friends or just share it with someone who might like to get one, it all helps!
The why:
According to recent census it’s over 30,000 homeless people in Detroit, that’s nearly 5% of the population!
We are opening a storefront that will also serve the community by being a multi-use site. Not only be used for retail sales but also a community hub by being a collection center for food, clothes, health suppliess. We would also use the space afterhours to host workshops on domestic violence, mental health, business education, prisoner re-entry and other issues affecting the city. Please show your support and purchase a shirt today! Only $25!
