    Before I announce the grand prize winner, let me state this:
    This community is simply amazing. Whether you bumped the threads and brought attention to it, donated a raffle prize and/or donated $ to participate in the raffle, all of you just continue to amaze me and continue to inspire. It's such a beautiful circle we all complete. This band and us. Us and this band. You all. THANK YOU SO MUCH

    Thanks to all of you, we have raised over $1500 which will help benefit 2 Pearl Jam inspired organizations. These 2 orgs are run by PJ fans and have helped many others including other PJ fans. So your help here is exponential in not just giving back and helping others, but helping each other:

    1) Given to Live (www.giventolive.com):
    Given To Live is a live music project based in the UK that makes going to live music possible for the vulnerable, excluded, disabled and disadvantaged. We believe everyone deserves to experience live music. Inspired by Pearl Jam, their activism and their fans. The idea was planted at the Oakland show in '13 and took root in April '14. Facebook link-
    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Given-To-Live/814123041937589

    2) Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey (http://www.operationyellowribbonsouthjersey.org/): Run by yours truly, we send care packages to boost the morale of our brave women and men in uniform deployed to the Middle East and then we welcome them home like rock stars here in the South Jersey area.

    With that said, we have our grand prize winner who is free to choose any of the 39 prizes available. 39 prizes. wow!

    drum roll Mr Matt Cameron please........


    our grand prize winner is.....


    FoxyRedLa!!
    Congrats Foxy and PM coming your way to get your selection as well as your address.
    I will keep selecting winners and moving thru the prizes. If you don't hear from me, don't get discouraged too early, it will take me time to do this and hear back from each winner. Stay tuned and again, THANK YOU!!

    I love Spirit's timing.

    Draw for this today and we at Given To Live made a presentation to a young man with learning difficulties yesterday to see the mighty Slipknot.

    Here's the link to the story -

    GTL will be using the funds raised in this raffle to take US based fans to two shows in the Spring (assuming the tour is real and not rumour). Dave and I have been doing a little behind the scenes already but can't say anything at this point. As soon as we can, we will.

    GTL
    Given To Live -

    Latest story - Declan at Slipknot is up on the website now at www.giventolive.com along with Kayleigh at Foo Fighters, Tony at Stereophonics and more.

    Inspired by Pearl Jam, making live music dreams come true.

    I second this! Or maybe someone else could run them since they are a boatload of work :)
