Brighton Hip-Hop Festival in doubt...

From the BHHF website...
BHHF NEEDS YOUR HELP!!! Brighton Hip Hop Festival (BHHF) is the UK's largest celebration of Hip Hop Culture.
Now in it's fourth year, the annual 2 week festival is attended by 100's of artists and 1,000's of people from all over the world.
Launched in 2004, the festival has gone from strength to strength and is recognised as a must attend event for all Hip Hop enthusiasts, as well as anyone with an interest in the many art forms that are comprised within Hip Hop culture.
Organised by KALA PHOOL, a multi-arts diversity led development agency, the BHHF exists as 'not for profit' to celebrate the richness, strength and diversity of Hip Hop culture, with many of the planned events free to attend.
Building on the success of previous years, the 2007 festival has programmed a fantastic line up of high profile events, designed to appeal to audiences new and old, it promises to be bigger and better than ever.
However, we've just found out that our major funder is NOT supporting us this year.
This is extremely bad news. Without these funds, BHHF will not happen. 100's of UK artists won't get the support and exposure they deserve, leaving a huge gap in the region's creative artistic and cultural landscape.
WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP to realise the exiciting and varied programme of events we have planned.
OUR PLANNED EVENTS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
INDUSTRY EVENT - £500
FRIEZE BOX (live public art installation) - £3,000
DARKDAZE COLLECTABLE PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS - £500
GRAFFITI LEGENDS SHOWCASE - £3,500
FRESH STYLES FILM FESTIVAL (x3 film screenings) - £3,000
RAW (spoken word event) - £150
THE LIVE DAY - £23,000
INSURANCE / ARTIST & VOLUNTEER SUPPORT / DOCUMENTATION - £7,500
We will accept donations directly or if you prefer to deal with our suppliers this can be arranged. Donations of materials and loan of equipment is also required.
If you think you can help in any way please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Please email or ring Indy Hunjan (BHHF Director)
with your support:

BHHF07 hopes to run from THU 28 JUNE - SAT 14 JULY.
BHHF NEEDS YOUR HELP IF IT IS GOING TO SURVIVE.
