I thought this deserved it's own thread, especially since we just got de-stickyfied and because there's always angst and anger on ticket days.. a ray of sunshine for you all, because you deserve it! :)


Because of all of YOUR participation - whether it be organizing the fundraisers, volunteering to help out at them, donating money for items there, or even just showing up - $29,178.00 has been raised so far in 2008 for the various charities the band supports. If that isn't the shit, I don't know what is.

    Excellent! Good to see donations to animal shelters...keep that up! You would not believe (or want to) what I see regularly while on the job. The most defenseless are always the most abused.

    Awesome job everyone!! :)

    Laura and crew ROCK!

    Thanks for making it possible. Now hopefully PJ can keep it rolling after Mr Vedder does his thing and we can raise some more money out WEST!

    Awesome job everyone!

    Couple of funny things. SB raised the least amount of money, isn't that one of the most wealthiest spots in Cali? ;)

    And I think you guys should do a bottle return for money at the next Camden and donate it to wishlist :D

    Good Job Laura, Eric, & everyone!
