Wedding Gifts

We are asking people not to buy anything for us. Instead you could donate money to The DJ Project. The DJ Project is a non-profit organization that educates and empowers low-income youth through music. You can send us checks or money orders made out to "Horizons Unlimited-The DJ Project" or pay by credit card here:


I have seen the DJ Project in action at Unity High School where I used to teach. I was very impressed by the positive impact this program had on students. We have also met with the director of the DJ Project and talked with him in detail about the new programs they are working on.

Alternatively, if you're feeling inspired, we encourage you to make something, such as a poem, song, artwork, needlework, story, photos, scrapbook, recipe, etc. You could also teach us how to do something that you love to do.
