Because of the unfortunate and sudden closures necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are raising money to take care of our Zebulon staff and building utilities. We hope to reopen stronger than ever before! These are very bizarre, unprecedented times, and we appreciate all of the love we have been receiving from our community. Zebulon has a staff of 30+ sound engineers, event bookers, bartenders, servers, bar backs, book keepers, social media, dishwashers, security guards, cleaners, and ticket booth operators who are all invaluable to the everyday operation of Zebulon. We thank you from the bottom of our collective heavy hearts and can't wait to have a Pancho and Lefty with ya'll on the patio!!!

Some of our friends on the soccer field on Fridays are out of work from this crisis. For people in the restaurant industry, this is a terrible time, and it would be great if we can step up with some mutual aid, solidarity--and money--to help our teammates through the next months.

Chers Compatriotes et ami.e.s du Burkina Faso,
Le 11 Mars 2020, l'épidémie de COVID-19 est déclarée une pandémie mondiale par l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé. Plus de 118 pays sont touchés, affectant des centaines de milliers de personnes. 
Aujourd’hui, c’est notre pays, le Burkina Faso qui est frappé de plein fouet par cette pandémie du Coronavirus. De nombreux cas ont déjà été enregistrés et le nombre de victimes risque d’augmenter de façon exponentielle les semaines à venir, comme c’est d’ailleurs le cas en Asie, en Europe et en Amérique. Le cas de l’Italie nous montre à quel point cette pandémie est dévastatrice. 
Aujourd hui, toutes nos familles, amis et connaissances  sont en proie à coronavirus et si rien n’est fait, nous risquons le pire.

Chers compatriotes, 
La Nation toute entière a besoin de nous!
Chers frères et soeurs, 
Nos familles ont besoin de nous!

Pour répondre à cet appel, nous avons discuté avec des professionnels de la santé et des administrateurs d'hôpitaux pour déterminer leurs besoins les plus importants.
C’est dans ce cadre que nous avons ensemble décidé de lancer cette campagne dénommée: DIX MILLES MASQUES pour le Burkina.
Cette campagne consiste en la mobilisation générale de tous les fils et filles du Faso pour une collecte de fond pour la fournitures en masques de protection et autres équipements nécessaire dans la protection de nos personnels soignants sur place et les personnes affectées par COVID19. 

Chers Compatriotes et ami-e-s du Burkina,
Nous avons toujours su nous mobiliser pour soutenir ou défendre notre patrie,
Nous avons toujours su nous montrer à la hauteur de toute adversité,
Nous avons toujours su nous montrer dignes de nos aïeux, et de nos pères intègres et solidaires, 
Pour une fois de plus, mobilisons-nous, pour faire de cette campagne une réussite, dans un élan patriotique, mais surtout dans un élan de solidarité agissante. 

Nous avons déjà des médecins qui attendent ces masques. 

Mobilisons-nous pour la Campagne DIX MILLES MASQUES POUR LE BURKINA.
Vos contributions nous permettra d'obtenir une grande quantité de masques N95 et chirurgicaux auprès de fabricants d'équipements certifiés pour être expédiés à Burkina Faso.

Dès le lancement de cette campagne, nous vous tiendrons informés de l’évolution de nos démarches et actions.

Tous vos dons iront directement à l’achat et à la livraison de masques N95, de masques chirurgicaux et d’équipements de protection individuelle pour les travailleurs de la santé, en première ligne dans les salles d’urgence et les unités de soins intensifs.

Nous vous remercions d’avance pour votre contribution. Nous restons fiers de vous et toute la nation vous en est reconnaissante. 

Le Comité de collecte de fonds.

<p>Dear World,<br /><br />What started as a need for a home, caught the attention of Mr. Nickolas Kristof from the New York Times, and eventually the world. Tani's story has touched so many, inspired us to be better, to love more, to try harder, and has tapped into the good that exists in all of us. God has shown himself through Tani and his story. God is alive and is at work.<br /><br />Our Gofundme will accept final donations for the next 24 hours at which point we will begin transferring funds to the Tanitoluwa Ademumi Foundation. We pray that through the work of this foundation, our global voice and the power of God, we will continue to bless others through the love and generosity that has been showered on us. Our foundation looks forward to supporting, empowering and developing talented but less privileged children, supporting homeless children, providing a tithe to our church which continues to be a place of refuge and support for the less fortunate. This is simply the beginning. We hope that in the days and years ahead, we will be able to identify new and creative ways to be a blessing to others who come needing refuge and opportunity. Our vision is that all people created in the image of God are given the chance to thrive and succeed and realize their full potential!<br /><br />Tani's life was changed in 24 hours. Generous donors and supporters came together outside of GoFundMe and provided us with the housing, legal, and educational resources we needed. This will allow us to use all of the funds raised on the campaign to support the mission of the Tanitoluwa Ademumi Foundation. Imagine the countless lives that can be changed over the course of many days and years to come. We are only a small piece of the worldwide work of caring for less privileged and empowering them to be the best they can, but we believe that together, and with God-all things are possible!<br /><br />We understand you didn’t necessarily donate to our campaign with this new purpose in mind. If you would prefer not to support the foundation you can get in touch with GoFundMe through this link: <a href="http://bit.ly/2qukHJP" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://bit.ly/2qukHJP</a><br /><br />Regardless of your choice, we thank you for your support.<br /><br />TANITTOLUWA ADEWUMI FOUNDATION<br /><br />"Helping Talent meet Opportunity''<br /><br /><a href="https://www.tanitoluwaadewumifoundation.org/">Tanitoluwaadewumifoundation.org</a><br /><br /><em>To contact the Tanitoluwa Ademumi Foundation, please reach out to us via email at [email redacted]</em>

hi, Everyone!!!<br />I'm so grateful to God, to my Family, to You.<br />Thank you. As you already know: I love you ALL.<br />A few days ago I asked my friends on Facebook: "How much money will you spend for your birthday to make it special?"<br />I found out that we celebrate our birthday in so many ways. <br />we spend a couple of hundreds to thousands of dollars to celebrate our birthdays.<br />That special day to celebrate -<br />To celebrate the day of our birth. <br />To express our happiness - <br />To express our gratitude to God - <br />To thank The Lord for one more year in our life -<br />And somehow we feel blessed. <br />- oh Yes! we are Blessed -<br /><br />But How blessed are we if we can't share our blessings?<br /><br />July 17 is my birthday - <br />For and from this birthdate, I have decided to launch a Scholarship Fund for Orphans in Burkina Faso, Africa.<br />An annual Scholarship to support orphans who can't afford to pursue their education. <br />Be my guest - Donate - Share - Support -<br />All money donated will be used for the fund. A website will be created for the Scholarship, and all contributors will be cited on the sponsors' page.<br />We will be much happier if we can make other people happy. <br />Together, let's be the helping hands!<br />Let's make a difference!<br /><br />God bless each one of you!<br />I love you.

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO OUR CAMPAIGN TODAY!   Zebulon LA is soon to open its doors at 2478 Fletcher Drive in LOS ANGELES!!!!  A beacon of light in these crazy times--music, theater, dance, art and film from around the world.  Construction is finished.  Permits in hand.  It has been such a challenge to get to this point.  Now we are just waiting to plug in to the grid, crank up the espresso machine, and lift the piano onto the stage.  But we still need the final funds to install the excellent sound system that we have designed for the space.  WE NEED YOUR HELP FRIENDS!!!!  This is an opportunity to support peace, beauty, freedom of thought, freedom of action.  Please help us install this sound system.  We want to be the best we can be, for the community, for LA, for California, for the world, for anyone who will be watching, listening, performing, experiencing, co-existing in this independent space we have been creating for all of us.  <br /><br />           The original Zebulon opened in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2003. It was a performance space, cafe and bar. Hosting a wide variety of musical acts from around the world and across the street; it served as  a cultural hub and nerve center for local artists, musicians, and the surrounding community. After a decade long run, and with a changing neighborhood Guillaume Blestel along with Jef and Joce Soubiran decided to shutter the doors, marking the end of an era in Brooklyn. Shortly after Jef Soubiran moved his family to Los Angeles and with the help of LA native Mia Doi Todd and her husband Jesse Peterson, a space was found and a lease signed.  <br />            The team undertook an extensive renovation of the 1930’s bakery building on Fletcher Drive located just next to the Los Angeles River in the Elysian Valley neighborhood, also known as Frogtown.  The landlord, Mario Espinoza, will continue to operate his Latin American music distribution company and record label, Altamirano Records, in the western side of the building.  Both businesses share a great love and respect for music!  This new incarnation of Zebulon will continue in the spirit of its predecessor in Brooklyn, but in a larger space and with an expanded vision. Excitement has been growing in our new Los Angeles home.<br />              In order to fully realize the potential available in a larger space, the decision was made to create two separate rooms - a small café and a state-of-the-art performance space.  A top quality sound system by L-Acoustics has been designed for the room, to ensure the best possible platform for all kinds of performance, be it live music, theater, film screenings, dance performance, after school programs or various workshops. This campaign will finance the purchase of this system along with stage lighting, video projection equipment, and all other audio aspects of the venue. <br />             Zebulon has a history of openness to a broad range of artistic expression and we hope to continue this tradition on a much grander scale. We’re reaching out to the Zebulon community and beyond and are asking that you support an independent, community-based undertaking.  Your donations will make it possible for us to provide a wide variety of meaningful programming in an inclusive atmosphere.  The names of all contributors will find a permanent, physical home on the walls of Zebulon as well. Please join us in creating this much-needed venue, one which will bring people together through sharing in music, dance, theater and film for many years to come.  A unique home away from home for all of us. Thank You.-ZEBULON LA<br /><br />For progress updates please go to zebulonla.com
