Jamie Hector is Moving Mountains

meetthefounder-jhAs you may know, Moving Mountains Inc. is a Brooklyn based 501c3 Non Profit Organization founded by Jamie Hector, a well respected actor best known for his roles on HBO’s The Wire and NBC’s HEROES. Jamie was born and raised in Brooklyn and wanted to create opportunities that specifically target urban youths interested in the performing arts and to provide creative development and a platform for them to showcase their talents. His original goal was to create a theater company where youths could strengthen and showcase their talents while instilling in them, life skills that build character. However, because of the growing number of participants from the surrounding boroughs, Moving Mountain has blossomed into a more diversified organization with a theater company, a film division, music division, and a dance and personal development component that focuses on individual needs, be it academic, health, etc. 
The Moving Mountains organization opened it’s doors to youth between the ages of 10 to 20 a little over a year ago using the rehearsal space provided by Council Member Darlene Mealey in Crown Heights Brooklyn. The organization has since gained the support of The Brooklyn Delegation, The Mark Wahlberg Foundation, HBO, film/television professionals, Medgar Evers College and The ABFF.
In celebration of a great year and to support the growing needs of the organization, Moving Mountains looks forward to its first annual fundraising weekend on Feb 12th & 13th. I am writing to ask for your support in this worth while two day event. Pending your interest, I would like to send additional information on the weekend and about how Moving Mountains has been affecting kids and parents alike in a positive way. You will also get confirmed celebrity attachments and an events listing. Your ability to spread the word about the organization would be very helpful. We are in need of sponsorship as well as donations. All donations are tax deductible in accordance with the IRS. 100% of all donations will go to the direct services for youth.
For additional information on Moving Mountains Inc. please visit our website www.movingmountainsnyc.org. We appreciate your consideration of this request and hope to discuss any questions you may have for us.

With a little faith,
we can Move Mountains!
