Happy Birthday to US!
► On June 16, 2016, we formed with just two team members, a tremendous vision,
and a monumental desire to inspire the world to “…celebrate what's possible when we share."
Since then, we've grown to a team comprised of six board members,
and ten advisory board members.
Together our team is an extremely storied, experienced, and award-winning bunch, with Emmys, Grammys' Tellys, Producer of the Year, Sundance Film Festival, and MTV Music Awards lining their mantles.
Accolades and aptitude are not the only things our board members have in common.
They share a passion for leveraging two of the world's greatest art forms, music, and photography and amplifying them via the tremendous leverage of A-list celebrity fandom, to champion what we believe, will be received as the most impactful message in the history of nonprofits.
The message being, that the most powerful asset we have as humans, is our ability to share!
Sharing makes everything, even life itself, possible!
A message that special as deserves a special day don’t you think?
The Day We Formed Was a Palindrome 6/16/16
We liked that date so much, that we worked overtime to get the paperwork done in time to ensure that 6/16/16 would be our birthday. We hope that our birthday could come to serve as a symbol for the beauty that radiates when we share.
We did some research and discovered that 6/16 had some fairly special events take place over the course of history. Some dating back over 800 years, some are still stacking up.
(See the most recent below)
In any event, we’re excited to take our place in history as we tirelessly toil to bring Six Beats Of Separation™, and its message of the importance and power of sharing, and the stories, music, and memories that our celebrity guests share with us...to you,
so they can, in turn, support an
ever-expanding 'portfolio' of the world's causes.
Music, and the arts. are for everyone, and we feel that philanthropy should be too.
So when we launch, for the first time in history, you’ll be able to support charities in need,
simply by showing up to enjoy what we share, and we think that's pretty special.
We hope you will too!
