Quiet Light Project seeking people that make a difference in Brooklyn
The Quiet Light Project Livestreaming September 18th Show is seeking submissions to honor people who have made a difference in Brooklyn, NY.
[BROOKLYN, NY] Inspired by the Irish saying, “Ní neart go cur le chéile” ('We are better together'), the Quiet Light Project is seeking submissions to honor people who have contributed to their Brooklyn community. The September Livestream event will include music and video to celebrate their contributions.
Nominees can be anyone from the bus driver who has an extra smile for passengers, to a grandparent who always has time for children, to people who volunteer in their neighborhoods. Our vision is to uplift and inspire audiences to be their own "quiet light" in their community.
SUBMISSIONS
In 200 words or less, tell us about the person you are nominating to be honored in the Quiet Light Project. What are they are doing that is special? Include anything that helps tell the story - a photo, a phrase they say or a specific memory you have.

The livestream musical performance September 18th at 5 pm EST is free and streaming information will be available at celticfiddle.com
