Lafayette Gardens Day with igotITtoo

On Saturday, August 15th I had the pleasure of attending Lafayette Gardens Day with igotITtoo, a young start-up based in Bedstuy, Brooklyn that  provides “information and communication technology support and education services to residents in under-served communities.” It was a beautiful day in filled with sunshine, barbecues, music and dancing.

igotITtoo was there to meet the community, to let people know about the services and classes we will be providing, as well as to gauge public interest and demand for these types of services. We received a warm welcome from the residence of the community. From the response we saw on Saturday, it seems that there is a high demand for these types of classes.

Throughout the day, there were raffles where messenger bags, stuffed animals, igotITtoo t-shirts (my personal favorite), sun glasses and gift cards given away to lucky winners. The Bronx Youth Choir performed during the afternoon, only to be followed by a Michael Jackson tribute dance off, performed by various children and residents, in the late afternoon.

We got a lot of great feedback, and the event was a huge success all around. I would like to thank everyone who made this event possible including Mr. Polite, Clare, Santana, everyone else at igotITtoo and  at Lafayette Gardens!
