Matthew Beck from the Waterwheel Foundation (http://www.phish.com/waterwheel). has offered BWorks the opportunity to use the upcoming Phish show at the Fox to spread the word about our work and hopefully raise some cash!:
"Since 1997, We have worked with the band Phish (www.phish.com) to host a different, regional, social/environmental Non-Profit group in every market that we visit on tour. To date our program has donated in excess of $441,000 to 189 groups through such activities." The idea is: they offer us desirable dry goods (t-shirts, signed posters etc. in exchange for donations to our organization). Volunteers will man a table with our info throughout the show, collecting and informing. We need a minimum of 4 volunteers for this event and so far we have confirmed Theresa and Matt D. to be there. (I already paid $250 for my ticket so I plan to see the whole show :) If you are interested, let me know and I will give you the event details. This is a mega-fun chance to raise money and awareness, recruit more volunteers, and hear some super amazing talented musicians for free! (not to mention the Phish scene is always pretty entertaining :) Theresa has some fabulous ideas which I am hoping she will add to this thread. Yaybot! Jenny I forgot to mention that the show is on Tues June the 16th.
