The Organization that I have joined is called Family Moons. Family Moons is a collective of deejay’s, musicians, producers, and visual and performance artists and volunteers. In the past, the group specialized in creating all ages, low cost electronic music events in the state of New Mexico. In 2004 the founders of the organization relocated to Boulder, Colorado, where it continued growing and meeting new contacts.
In 2009 a decision was made by the founders of Family Moons to fully license and reorganize the collective in New Mexico into a full-blown business. The organization brought in many new artists and performers; I was invited to be apart of the collective in May 2009. All new artist’s entered with a specific vision and mission: to produce a series of charity events benefiting and educating the Albuquerque Community on social issues including homelessness, gay rights, and underprivileged youth.
Many non-profits in Albuquerque have had significant cut backs due to the decrease in donations. Family Moons feels that with the musical following that the collective has created in its 12 years of promotions (specifically with the school aged community), that it is in a prime position to offer its services to help raise awareness that these organizations are a vital network to New Mexico’s underprivileged youth and families. Organizations to be supported are: The Storehouse Food Pantry, The Albuquerque Animal Humane Association and Warehouse 508.
