Spoken Word Projects Created by Biondolillo Associates
Biondolillo Associates is the nation’s leading developer of branded, large-scale special-event fundraising programs, which typically link the nonprofit, for-profit and public sectors. Among our many programs, we are particularly proud of our work creating “spoken word” projects. Some notables include:- Words About Work!, the nation’s first workplace-based poetry contest promoting the meaning and value of work.
- Learning Leaders' Celebrity Read Aloud (formerly Lincoln’s Library), the nation’s largest celebrity read aloud.
- The Big Cheese Reads, the nation’s first CEO-driven literacy/mentoring program for school children.
- Kids Cameras Action!, although not a spoken word project, was the nation’s first film, video and television production festival for children and families. Over 14,000 event participants used electronic media to tell their life stories. Notably, activities began with the completion of storyboards.
Boston Mayor Tom Menino, Steven Biondolillo, and former Boston Partners in Education CEO Frances Moseley at the launch of the Biondolillo-created signature marketing program, "The Big Cheese Reads.” In the past five years, 100 Boston-area CEO’s have been engaged with middle school classes as Big Cheeses, and over $2 million has been raised!
