Jamie Hector is Moving Mountains
As 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. Steve’s In the Race!
Steve Nash is joining Athletes for Hope “Who Gives? Racing for a Cause” campaign, featuring 55 other athletes in a competition to find out who can do the most good. In support of the Steve Nash Foundation, he’ll be going head-to-head from now until January 15th in a race for the grand prize of $10,000 and much more.
Steve’s a tough competitor, but he can use your help getting as many new donors involved and existing donors excited; for as little as $10 anyone can help the Steve Nash Foundation bring quality early learning opportunities to at-risk children.

In order to win the race, Steve will need all the support he can get, so please share this with your family, twitter, facebook friends, and the good people you know, and ask them to help, too.
