On March 25th, we were honored to be one of 12 musical groups asked to play the Whole Planet Party benefit hosted by Whole Foods Market, Bar Standard, HOT 107.1 FM, Jammin 105.1 FM, and Westword.
It was amazing to see more than 525 people come out and enjoy music from some of Denver's best bands and DJs performing on three stages non-stop from 7 PM - 1 AM.
Over $3300 was raised in ticket sales that night. 100% of the proceeds from these sales were donated to the Whole Planet Foundation to fund micro-loans to women and families in 29 developing nations to help them lift themselves out of poverty through small business ownership.
What a wonderful world we live in where the actions of a handful of people on a Friday night in Denver could create prosperity, abundance, and most importantly, HOPE for people around the world.
Nights like this are humble reminders that we are ultimately servants channeling whatever it is we can through us in an effort to reach others. Thank you for the incredible gift you give us in receiving this.
Of course none of this happens in a vacuum. We have to shoutout people like Rupp's Drums, Dave Avery (Sound Engineer), Bar Standard, Westword, and SoundTown for their generosity in supporting things from the business side. It takes a village indeed. Good people abound.
