Crowdfunding Update #1

November 22, 2019

Dear Friends of MARC - 

Thank you for your incredible generosity! We are overjoyed by your response to our crowdfunding campaign, and are delighted to share that we've already reached 31% of our goal in less than 5 days. Thank you!

Because of you, we are well on our way to bringing mindfulness to all. Thank you for the role you're playing in making MARC's vision a reality. 

If you haven't done so already, please consider sharing our campaign page - spark.ucla.edu/MARC - with other people who practice or are interested in mindfulness. By lending us your voice, you're directly helping to bring mindfulness practice to communities near and far. 

We are grateful for everything you've done to get us to this point so quickly, and look forward to staying in touch throughout the campaign. 

Enjoy your weekend!
