Ignite – What a Concept! I Had to Get Involved

Ignite Charlotte July 26, 2010 Blog and News 0 Comments

I was turned on to Ignite Lansing by a good friend who had just moved back to Michigan. We all watched online as he did his 5-minute shtick. WOW, this looked like so much fun! So I started looking for Ignite Charlotte.

But….there was no Ignite Charlotte, so I contacted O’Reilly who sent me all the requirements to get an Ignite up and running and thanked me for my interest. Well… if you only had seen the list, there was still going to be no Ignite Charlotte because I could not pull it off on my own.

Blueagle Marketing is a new and successful venture and Ignite would be a great place to network and meet folks. And what a great sponsorship opportunity it would be, but there was just no way. Thanks O’Reilly but I am not your man.

Maybe 6 weeks goes by and in comes this great gal with lots of energy and says, “I want to help!” I say, “Hey, why don’t you do it and I will help!” So here we are and thanks to Bridget B. Sullivan for taking this bull by the horns and making Ignite happen.

Yes, Blueagle Marketing is the sponsor and proud of that. Blueagle Marketing specializes in getting our clients recognition in a digital world and converting that recognition into dollars in the bank! By raising our clients’ brand awareness, we have elevated and captured their intangible assets so that they are much more profitable than they were prior to our relationship. It’s a win-win and we love what we do.

However, the main reason that we sponsored Ignite Charlotte is to raise awareness of a major issue here in our own back yard. There are more than 2900 homeless children here in Mecklenburg County. 2900! The need is huge and the situation is urgent. So please, contact me, Sam Fagan at samuelfagan@gmail.com and get more details on how you can help! We at Blueagle refuse to let this issue rest right here in our own back yard. But just like with Ignite, we need help. The kids need help. Act on this now!

Ignition on, let’s rock with Ignite Charlotte!

Sponsor Spotlight – Finish the Wall

Ignite Charlotte July 23, 2010 Blog and News 0 Comments

Finish the Wall exists for the sole purpose of completing unfinished churches and other humanitarian efforts that have been left in some phase of construction without a plan or funding for completion.

It all began when a group of men went to the island of Barbados in 2004 on a construction mission trip from a local church in Charlotte, NC. They spent seven days on that beautiful island working on a 12,000 square foot building that had been in construction for 12 years. The project had been started and worked on periodically by good-willed churches from the United States but was left without provisions to complete the project.

This group of men went back to the building several times over the next couple years and made some progress on this project. Upon the return from one of these trips, founder Joel Davis felt called to start a ministry that focused on the completion of projects in a timely manner so that these facilities could be used for their intended purpose. Based on the book of Nehemiah, and Nehemiah’s vision to complete the wall around Jerusalem, Finish the Wall was brought into existence in 2007 and operates now as a non-profit 501(c)3.

In 2008 Finish the Wall returned to the island of Barbados. With 39 people representing nine churches from across the eastern US, the group invested an additional four weeks on the project, seeing it through to its completion.
