Help Deafinitely Dope spread ASL
Donation protected
Deafinitely Dope is a diamond in the rough attempting to become a polished gem in their mission to spread sign language to the world. ASL is one of the fastest growing languages, yet the divide between the hearing and deaf communities is still intact. Our team consists of deaf, hearing, and hard of hearing individuals to show that barriers can be broken, and we'd like to project that awareness on to the rest of the world. Here is a clip of a video that went viral thanks to NowThat Entertainment and the 25K+ people that enjoyed seeing sign language with music and hearing what #DeafinitelyDope is all about!
Thanks to Dylan Barth & NowThis for this video!
In able to make a lasting impact on society, we need your help! We're raising money to be able to provide these resources: a website for people to take ASL tutorials from with authentic deaf culture interaction as well as a place to take orders in providing people with a brand they can wear with pride in supporting breaking barriers and the use of sign language. We also need to raise money for merchandise such as hats, clothes, stickers, car decals, posters and more in an effect to direct more people to the website in a modern and urban way to appeal to people of all ages and colors. Office space, laptops, camera equipment to ensure the best quality possible for our hearing viewers as well as music video entertainment for our deaf viewers with captions thus leading to more accessibility!
I have kept this project alive for 5 years creating a grassroots foundation and the more we push Deafinitely Dope out to the masses, the greater the public response becomes and the stronger the desire to learn ASL becomes, simply through a universal love of music! Thank you for your time, and we are grateful for every donation that may come on behalf of this GoFundMe.
