2020 IMPACT BECAUSE OF YOU! 

December 31, 2020

 

Good Afternoon Fearless Community, 

 

We hope all is well, and you had a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season!

 

It's the last day, of 2020. While we say that with joy, and hope for a better year in 2021, we look back over the past twelve months with gratitude for each and every one of you. Any year brings challenges and curve balls that we don't expect - However just like overcoming fear, it's not the challenge itself that defines us or even the season we're living in. What defines us, is how we respond. 

 

The year, 2020 brought fear to the forefront of our lives even while we tried to ignore it, we could not escape it. 

 

We're not writing to you today to dwell in the challenges and pain 2020 brought us, but to celebrate the positive, life-long impact YOU made in the midst of the chaos!

 

While we lost 50% of our annual funding due to postponing/canceling in-person events, this year we fulfilled immediate needs thanks to your generosity, time, and support towards the Fearless Movement and our community.

 

YOU impacted 2,026 individuals LOCALLY, NATIONWIDE, AND INTERNATIONALLY! Let us share how.

 

Thanks to your support, we served: 

 

2 youth in Liberia battling epilepsy, uncontrolled seizures, and financial barriers. YOUR SUPPORT GIFTED AN ENTIRE YEAR OF FREE TREATMENT WITH BUTTERPEAR!

 

3 college students, who now have PAID internships with the Fearless Movement from Rowan College of South Jersey and Wagner College! Your giving permits the opportunity of hands-on experience in graphic design, social media management, marketing, organizational development, and fundraising!

 

4 students through awarding scholarships to further their education and celebrate overcoming adversity and blazing trails for change in their career field and community! 

 

5 families this Christmas season, supplying families with gifts who were in disadvantaged situations. 

 

15 students in need of laptops for remote learning, including two college students ending their Fall semester with a 4.0!

 

75 families by volunteering and donating towards food boxes to combat the fear of food insecurity in the beginning and throughout the pandemic, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Through this initiative, we served 360 individuals. 

 

87 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Nursing Staff and Physicians at Jefferson Health, Washington Township Hospital, by helping us say THANK YOU to those who combat fear on the frontlines for us every day. With your support, we held the first annual 'Art Kulikowski, Christmas Surprise' by giving a lunch, and individual Christmas gifts to each ICU staff member. You helped us continue the giving legacy of Art Kulikowski who lost his battle to COVID-19. (learn more about the impact by visiting NBC 10, NJ.com, and more media coverage here) 

 

250 youth, encouraged and equipped with tangible, real-life tools to become a leader, form self-esteem and empathy, discover a creative outlet for stress management and rise above fear through our virtual workshops. 

 

600 individuals of all ages across the nation, by aiding our COVID-19 Response of free access to the arts! Each individual, ages 3-90 years old, received an Art Empowerment Package delivered to their doorstep, full of art supplies to release stress, boost productivity, become more innovative, and break communication barriers. 

 

700 local students in Glassboro and Washington Township, who missed out on the anticipated celebrations of being a senior and graduating, by gifting celebratory gifts and packages!

 

Along with individual impact, we reached 82,313 individuals virtually through our National Epilepsy Awareness Month Campaign! 

 

The year 2020 was a year to answer the call of those in need of free resources and support. You answered the call.

 

On behalf of Fearless Movement, we could not have ignited change that lasts without you and our community partners. We look forward to what change will be ignited in 2021 and hope you'll join us again. 

 

As always, please feel free to reach out if you or a loved one is in need while battling fear, mental health conditions, or epilepsy. Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year! 

 

With Gratitude, 

 

Ashley Kulikowski, and the Fearless Movement Team
