Hi y'all. How do you feel about purchasing merch from these folks in addition to or instead of PP?

I've been waiting for PP to come up with merch this nice but IMO they haven't stepped their game up in this area. Now I understand they've had more important things to do, but I really would like to purchase something, and this new PRN Association's merch really catches my eye.

However I have wanted to support the estate only.

Would buying from this association be an option that you feel ethically okay with?

PRN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION - MISSION:


"PRN Alumni Foundation, officially formed in 2016, is comprised of former employees of Paisley Park and the international icon Prince. The group’s mission is to continue the generosity of their late boss who supported opportunities for underprivileged youth to grow in music, arts and education, and helped alumni members in-need. The foundation also supports urban farming initiatives that create sources of healthy, organic foods where they are otherwise scarce."

To the moderators:

I believe this thread should be in PMAM OR Associated Artists where I initially posted it.

From the Association's website:

"The PRN Alumni represents some of the best producers, managers, engineers, designers, musicians and support personnel who helped power a legend."

Board Members include Susan Rogers, Craig Rice, Jacqui Thompson and Harlan Austin.

The Association's mission is to carry on Prince's philanthropic work and does not have to do with concerts:

If I am misunderstanding why this thread was put in"Concerts", please let me know. I would like to respectfully ask that it be put in PMAM where other posts about this Associatiin are, or in Associated a Artists,.

Thanks very much, 😇
