Alice Cooper and Project Unicorn CEO Bill Rinehart
Cross-Posted Here.
Alice Cooper stopped by the office today...yes, Alice Cooper, the man, the myth, the legend himself.
We're very excited about the beginning of what we hope to be a a strong and continuing relationship with Alice (stay tuned for upcoming announcements!), but I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you a bit about some fantastic things he's working on....some things all of us here at Project Unicorn are really excited about as well.
Alice Cooper is on a mission to make a difference, and he's doing it where it counts the most-in the lives of children.
Realizing that a large part of his career was built on teens around the world and that he yielded a great deal of influence over the youth culture, Alice approached his good friend and youth pastor Chuck Savale with an idea. The two partnered together in an effort to make a significant difference in as many lives as possible, and for the past ten years, these two fathers and friends have focused on raising money to support other like-minded organizations and individuals.
To date, over $1.2 million has been donated; however, for Alice and Chuck, the dream is larger. These two men have envisioned a center targeted at teens, built on the premise of providing teens with an outlet where they can flourish and prepare for their life ahead of them.
Enter THE ROCK, where Alice Cooper's foundation, Solid Rock will provide a safe place in which teens can develop their talents in a community based on Christian values...with a focus on self-discovery, music, self-expression, and creativity.
What Alice hopes to accomplish for these kids is amazing; he's after a demographic that's commonly ignored, and he's doing it in a way that has the potential to be the most impacting: through music (what Alice described as "the common denominator").
Project Unicorn is very excited about what looks like a promising future with Alice Cooper and Solid Rock. Don't forget to come back for more details....we'll be keeping you updated on all the happenings here at the U.
