Donate to Help fund MARRAPALOOZA, organized by David Littlefair

Hi all, Marrapalooza: Marrapalooza festival was founded in 2023 and has ran for two years in Ouseburn Valley, bringing small bands and performers operating at the grassroots level to the North East from all over the UK. The festival in 2024: We try to make the festival as affordable as possible, and while I (David) and the great people who who have helped me (in 2024, Hannah and Beck) know the risk we take and the challenge present in funding an event like this (and our own deficient mathematical abilities) the difficulty of keeping the festival afloat was felt very keenly in 2024. A year when the whole music industry feels in a more difficult place than in a generation. Our deficit: Over 2 years we've done our best to run the event as fairly as possible. In doing so, we have also been reliant on the generosity of those willing to loan us gear, time and other forms of help to keep things as affordable as possible. Nevertheless, as of 2024 it looks like we will be more than £2,000 out of pocket on Marrapalooza 1 and 2 - not including any time spent organising the festival. Your donation will go toward covering these costs - more than 80% of the cost of our event is in band and performer fees. Tip Marrapalooza: Many people have suggested to me that they might be willing to 'tip' the festival, for having had a good time at it and feeling it might have been an experience worth more than what they paid. I thought I'd set up this gofundme to check if anyone did want to do this. A 'tip' will help soften the losses a bit. This is not intended as pressure, I/we knew the risk when we started the festival and it is up to you whether you'd like to help. If you bought a ticket, you have already helped us and we are incredibly grateful for that. We also have way to thank you for your support. What's in it for you: Early Bird Tickets Every year so far we have released extremely cheap 'Early Bird' tickets, and these have sold out within an hour. Everyone who donates to this fundraiser will be given this link ahead for any future Marrapalooza (I can't guarantee that we'll do another today, though we'd like to, its clear that the event needs some kind of sponsor to be sustainable) What's in it for you: £6 donor custom print badges If we collect more than 30 donations of £6, I'll also print a one-off Marrapalooza badge for donors of £6 or more and organising to post these to you.

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks
