A 1,000 Net Night!!!

Posted on 19:21 by Unknown
What a show last night in Garland!!!

We had around 400 folks show up for the Chicago/Eagles Tribute show there...so many that folks were spilling out of the room and into the hallway...probably 100 folks in the hall crammed in to hear.

And there was a *great* energy in the room.

Most amazingly, because of a special matching grant offer this month, our funds raised last night will very likely total:

$10,000!!!

That clearly makes last night the biggest fundraising night ever in our history.

But it’s not about the money, of course. It’s about saving lives from the scourge of malaria. And with that money..1,000 mosquito nets will be sent to Sierra Leone, saving the lives of thousands of people!!!

As of last night, we also passed the $60,000 mark in total funds raised. See the update chart here:

Thanks to all who came to the show. We’re deeply grateful to our eve-growing number of fans and supporters. It’s such a blessing to be able to play this great music for you, to have such fun, and to raise money for such a worthy cause.
