I didn't see this posted anywhere on the forum, and I ran into it by mistake. (I was trying to find out if the band was playing Alpine Valley this September. Apparently it may or may not be announced Tuesday. Yeah, haha.)

Anyway, this was very cool to find out: Low-income children will be fed thanks to a gift from PJ. What an incredible gesture of kindness.

"Earlier this year, Wileman Elementary School in Delavan received a three-year, $50,000 grant to provide snacks for low-income children to take home every weekend.

"Those blessings originated with a Pearl Jam concert at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy. At the concert, the band decided to donate money to Blessings in a Backpack, a charity the band has supported in the past."
