Email #1: Welcome to Areena’s Weekly Email (11/20/15)

First, I’d like to apologize. Earlier today you received an email from the Areena system confirming you were placed on this email list. We know it was confusing to some of you and we are sorry for that confusion. If you’d like to unsubscribe, you can do so at the bottom of this page or by emailing jeff@theareena.com and letting us know.

Now to the good stuff…

I am proud of how far Areena has come since I conceived the organization several years ago. We have made a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands and developed ongoing relationships with organizations across the country, including the New York Yankees, Billie Jean King Leadership Council, NYC Service, Restaurant Associates, Percolate, the Broadway League, Proskauer Rose and numerous senior centers, shelters and food pantries. Our organization now connects more than a thousand members to hundreds of projects throughout the country in need of their assistance.

What can we accomplish? In July, Areena fed 3,500 New Yorkers across the five boroughs as we launched our bold Everybody Eats campaign. We began the initiative in recognition of the the fact that everybody doesn’t eat, which in a country of such wealth and resources is totally insane. Areena is doing something about it.

We are excited to announce that in 2016 Areena will bring Everybody Eats to cities across the country.

Please forward this email to any of your friends and family interested in making a difference in their community. 

Areena is more than a social network. We are a social movement.

I look forward to working with you.
