kids helping kids' benefit concert.
Tomorrow, right here in Santa Barbara at the Granada Theater, I have the privilege of seeing Tyrone Wells and Mat Kearney (both of whom I am very fond of). I tweedled my thumbs about my attendance to this event for awhile since I have seen Tyrone Wells four previous times as well as Mat Kearney about two months ago. But I figured since I will be playing a role in Kids Helping Kids next year that I should probably go. I also do admit that I am a huge fan of both artists, and think that $30 is totally worth it to see them again; especially since all profit goes towards the Unity Shoppe. I've actually partaken in this fundraiser for three months now. I was chosen to be a Penny Drive captain at Santa Barbara Community Academy as well as Monroe Elementary to collect money for the Unity Shoppe. I know I sound pathetic, but it was one of the hardest fundraisers I have ever had to deal with; I had to drive to each elementary school twice a week and collect money from all 20 classrooms let alone weigh and count every single coin/dollar/check. It was hard work, but I think it was worth it because it will only prepare me for next year and what Kids Helping Kids has in store for me. I am very psyched for the benefit concert and also just to observe and see what I can do to help improve KHK for next year. Should be fun! Check out the tracks, All I'm Thinking Of by Tyrone Wells, or On and On by Mat Kearney. If you like, then buy their albums--Metal & Wood (Tyrone Wells)/City of Black & White (Mat Kearney). Oh, and you can still buy tickets if you are interested at granadasb.org!
