I Heart is a newly incorporated non-profit foundation begun by LA indie rock musicians Arrica Rose, Abby Kincaid, and Laura Martin. While touring in the southwest, the girls were inspired by a fellow female musician named Eva, who was creatively using her talents and connections to raise money for various charitable organizations in her hometown, Albuquerque, NM. Excited about the possibility of re-creating Eva's success in Los Angeles, the girls spent their 14 hour drive back to LA brainstorming ideas that for what would become I Heart.
I Heart's mission is to unite some of LA's most talented independent artists, musicians, photographers, etc, in the creation of unique products and events designed to raise money for the benefit of LA based charitable organizations. We are especially interested in organizations that work toward the safety and health of women and those that work in the promotion of artistic education and inspiration for young girls.
Our first project is The Bombshell Alliance, a 1940s style pin-up calendar and accompanying compilation CD featuring Los Angeles based female musicians. All profits from the sale of the calendar will be donated to Sojourn Services for Battered Women and their Children.
Additionally, I Heart intends to use profits earned from the calendars launch party to create a one-year scholarship for a young girl to attend The Silverlake Conservatory of Music. The launch party will be held at The Hotel Cafι in Hollywood, CA, on the evening of November 15th, 8pm.
