#BUTTERFLYPROJECT WWA DALLAS MEETUP

Hello everyone!! We have an update with some meet up details!! We would love for as many of our twitter friends to come as possible! :) Let everyone going to the concert know!

When- August 24th, so the day of the concert :)

Where- De'Danaan, which is at the park directly by the stadium. (If you don't know exactly where this location is, google can direct you to it!) 

Time- 10 AM 

What to Bring- Posters and Glue!

We will be putting butterflies that were colored by the kids with EB onto posters that you have made saying "Release Your Butterfly" on them! :) Make sure to wear a red bandana also. We will bring some extra red bandanas for anyone who does not have one or would like another one for someone coming to the concert later. We will also hand out some brochures and DEBRA bracelets which DEBRA of America have sent us as well. The company is sending a banner that we can all take a picture with. We hope to see you all there! Please let everyone you know that is attending the concert aware of the project! We can make such a great awareness for EB! 

Please let us know if you would be able to attend the meet up!

With love,

Emily and Kate

WWA Dallas Show Plans

Hey everyone!! I just wanted to make a master post with all the information I know of about what our show is doing for the concert, so we can all be clear on what's going on! 

A lot of people have asked if Glow Out Dallas is still happening, the answer of course is yes! Glow Out Dallas is just simply making signs with glow in the dark paint, (which can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Michael's Craft Stores, etc.)! The signs being made with glow in the dark paint makes an awesome effect to how the signs look, and also the boys are able to see your sign much more clearly and when they look out they can read them more easily! You can be as creative as you want with the signs of course, a cool idea is to make signs maybe for your whole row spelling out something! You can always wear glow in the dark clothing if you'd like, but mainly we just think it will look extremely cool to have the entire AT&T Stadium lit up! :)

Next is the #ButterflyProject! This project is made to raise awareness for Epidermolysis Bullosa, which is a rare genetic disease that causes the skin to blister and is extremely hard to live with. Many people don't know about the disease, but it is very serious. DEBRA is the foundation that has spread awareness and gets help to families with children affected by EB. DEBRA's mascot is a butterfly, and children diagnosed with EB are referred to as the "Butterfly Children," because their skin is as delicate as a butterfly's wings. The idea for the project below was inspired by Harry tweeting to DEBRA of Ireland a picture of his butterfly tattoo saying he had released his butterfly!

Some changes have been made since Emily (@varsityclifford), and I are working with DEBRA of America, which is amazing! They are helping us so much and our concert is going to be awesome! When the project was originally created it was with the color scheme of blue, which was the butterfly color of DEBRA of Ireland! Since we are now associated and working with DEBRA of America, we have changed the color to red! 

Feel free to spread this picture and blogpost link! 

What we are doing to raise awareness is making signs, which we hold up during one song (yet to be determined, waiting for the set list to come out of course!) The sign should say, "Release Your Butterfly," on it with a red butterfly somewhere on the sign! It can be drawn, painted, printed whatever you'd like! We may be able to make a printable sign that everyone can print off, we will let you know! We'd also like everyone to wear a red bandana, wherever you'd like to wear it, it doesn't have to specifically go on your head, or arm you can choose wherever! :) 

Hopefully this thoroughly explained everything! And if you ever have any questions feel free to tweet and ask Emily and I:

#ButterflyProject Update!!

Hey everyone!! :) 

I just wanted to update everyone on the "Debra of America Butterfly Project!" 

When Emily (@varsityclifford) and I created the project we were doing it in conjunction with the DEBRA branch in Ireland, we have been lucky enough to get the DEBRA branch of America to help us with our amazing plans for the concert in Dallas! We are very grateful for them and their help and are so excited to see what will be happening in the future with them! 

The blue butterfly was associated with DEBRA of Ireland, and since we will be working with DEBRA of America we would like to change the butterfly's color to RED!❤️ So new hashtags would be:

#ButterflyProject (this hashtag could help to keep confusion at a minimum, so people would not be confused of two separate projects happening! So if you can help spread the new hashtag and this post it would mean a lot!) Therefore we will want to make the "Release Your Butterfly" signs with red butterfly's! As well as wear red bandanas instead of blue! Since this is a change and many people have already heard of the project we will need your help to spread the word! So please tweet, Instagram, this information! Sharing this picture would be a huge help as well: 

Thank you all so much for wanting to help and make our concert amazing! Help to spread the news around and if you have any questions feel free to ask! 

Xoxo, Kate!

Hello everyone!! I hope you're having an oh so lovely day, and have a smile on your face, and if you don't here is a hug xx. 

So I've been really thinking about creating a youtube channel, I'd like to explore that realm of entertainment and I think it'd be a fun way for you all to get to know me better, and for me to generate excitement for the show! I was just wondering if any of you would watch my videos, and if there were a certain type of videos you like to watch?? :) 

Tweet me and let me know if you want vlogs, music/book reviews, random videos (Suggest a topic!), anything!! :))

UPDATED BBP AND GLOW OUT DALLAS INFO

Hey lovelies!! 

I just wanted to give an update on the #BlueButterflyProject and #GlowOutDallas!! If you don't know what they are, you can find out here: http://katethegreat497.blogspot.com/2013/12/bluebutterflyproject-glowoutdallas.html?spref=tw :) 

So first off let's start with a Blue Butterfly Project update! 

As you probably already know, we want to make signs saying "Release Your Butterfly" on them, like Harry tweeted a picture of his tattoo with that saying. If you make a sign, it CANNOT have the DEBRA Ireland butterfly logo. It can have a butterfly you just have to make sure it isn't their official logo! (To see their logo look at their twitter @debraireland) also think about how we should be courteous to others and not obstruct people's views to greatly with an obnoxiously big sign! Also along with this make sure you make a Blue bandana with either something painted on with glow in the dark paint on it! (If you can't find any glow in the dark paint to put on it, bring a blue bandana anyway!) Also it would be smart to make your "Release Your Butterfly" signs with glow in the dark paint, so they can be seen by the boys! :):) if you have more questions ask @teamirwinn or myself @WWADallas_2014! :) 

Glow Out Dallas update: 

So I just wanted to say Glow Out Dallas is different than Dallas Glow Out, and I'm not in anyway bashing that idea at all :) Glow Out Dallas was created before, and I just wanted to make sure there were no accusations or hard feelings towards stealing ideas, etc. The main idea of Glow Out Dallas is for everyone to have Glow In The Dark painted signs so the stadium would look a glow and amazing! Also I think the boys would like to be able to see the signs more easily this way :) the idea of the stadium being lit up would just be so pretty! I know that we are asking if you are participating in the Blue Butterfly Project to make a sign, and then if you are also participating in making a Glow Out Dallas sign it can kind of being demanding, so I just wanted to suggest make a two sided sign :) that way you could have both! Of course you don't have to make both, but it'd be great if you did, or combined the idea of making your bandana and BBP sign glow in the dark as well!! Also Dallas Glow Out, is more focused on wearing bright clothes, etc. which is great if you'd like to be involved in that, but Glow Out Dallas is more focused on having a glowing signs and bandanas that are in conjunction with BBP! :) Also a suggestion for the glow out signs if you're going with a large group friends maybe spell out we love you, or something! 

Clarification on the WWA Dallas Dream Team: 

I tweeted earlier tonight about the WWA Dallas Dream which is basically just a big group of supporters of the the two projects!! :) Right now we need everyone who wants to get involved with us to literally promote our projects! Spread our blogpost links, get the word out on big WWA Tour accounts, share it on insta, do everything you can! We want to raise awareness for EB and DEBRA Ireland through this because it's a great cause, as well as make our concert memorable and amazing for our boys :) A great way to get the word out is by searching twitter for tweets with WWA Dallas and asking if they know about the projects, and sharing the project blog posts, etc with them! Tell small accounts and big accounts, they ALL make a difference! 

Closing note: 

I just wanted to thank Emily, @teamirwinn for allowing me to help with her great ideas :) go follow her! If you have questions tweets us! Thanks for the support! 

Xoxo, Kate The Great
