Board & staff · An Evening in Englewood
We fill this room
together.
Five of us. One night. One room.
An email from an organization gets ignored. A text from you does not. This page is here so every one of us is asking our own people, in our own words — and so we can see it working.
How this works
1
Create your page
Tap the gold button on your card. It takes about two minutes and gives you your own page with your own link and your own total.
2
Paste your link in
Copy your new page link and paste it into the box on your card. That personalizes the message below with your link in it.
3
Send five messages
Not a post. Five personal messages to five people who would actually come. Tap Copy My Invite Text and it is written for you.
4
Follow up once
Most people say yes on the second ask, not the first. Wait four days and send one more.
If all five of us do this
Five people each asking ten of their own, with half saying yes, is twenty-five seats sold before the general invitation does a thing. That is how a first-year room fills.

Danielle Wallace
Founder & Executive Director
“I have spent 15 years in Englewood asking people to believe in our young people. On September 25 I am asking you to come see why.”
Lisa Wyatt
Board President
“Thirty years in education. I know exactly what happens when a child has a village behind them, and what happens when they do not. Come help us build one.”
Nychole Burts
Board Member
“I develop property in this city. Kingdom Avenue develops people. Both take somebody willing to invest before the value shows up.”
Alan Burts
Board Member
“I assess complex problems for a living. The one Kingdom Avenue is solving is the one that matters most, and it starts with a table full of people.”
Brandon Hawkins
Executive Assistant
“I found love in serving here. Come see what a room full of Englewood in its Sunday best looks like.”
