Greetings Friends and
Family of Pink Martini,
Pink
Martini and McMenamins are excited to announce
FundFest 2008! -- a four-night fundraising concert event
at the Crystal Ballroom on June 3 to 6
to benefit four local non-profits.
Pink Martini and McMenamins will produce the event and donate 100%
of the net proceeds to the following beneficiaries which were selected by
Pink Martini band members:
- Friends of Trees
-
KBOO Community
Radio
- Outside In
- Bicycle Transportation Alliance
Tickets On Sale Saturday April 26 at
12noon
at the Crystal Ballroom Box Office and through Ticketmaster!
The goal of
FundFest 2008 is to raise a total of $80,000 or $20,000
each for the four beneficiaries. "Pink Martini is approached
every year by dozens of organizations to perform at fundraisers and
events, which is difficult because we spend so much of the year on the
road," says Pink Martini bandleader Thomas M. Lauderdale. "FundFest --
which is four nights of fun and festive fundraising -- is an opportunity
for the band to raise money for four different organizations whose work we
want to honor and support." In 2006 the inaugural
FundFest raised $84,324 and donated $21,081 each to four
local nonprofits.

Here's more
information about the beneficiaries of FundFest 2008!:
Friends
of Trees
Friends of Trees inspires community stewardship of
our urban forest by bringing people in the Portland-Vancouver metro area
together to plant and care for city trees and urban natural areas. Since
1989, we have mobilized thousands of volunteers to plant more than 360,000
trees and native plants, increasing Portland's tree canopy during decades
when a dozen major U.S. cities lost a quarter of their tree cover. For
more information visit http://www.friendsoftrees.org/
KBOO
Community Radio
KBOO Community Radio is a volunteer-powered,
listener-sponsored, non-commercial community radio station celebrating 40
years of news, public affairs and music programming with an emphasis on
community, diversity, creativity and activism. KBOO broadcasts at 90.7FM
Portland, 100.7FM Corvallis, 91.9FM Hood River and online at http://www.kboo.fm/
Outside In
Outside In provides comprehensive
services to more than 500 youth per year who are experiencing
homelessness. Initially, these youth may have emotional walls they
have built around themselves to survive. They have survived families
that abused and neglected them as well as adults who exploited them once
they were on the streets. Outside In focuses on their strengths and
builds the confidence that is required for them to be able to leave the
streets. Often, we are the first person that has told them “you
can.” For more information visit http://www.outsidein.org/.
Bicycle
Transportation Alliance
The Bicycle Transportation Alliance
creates healthy, sustainable communities by making bicycling safer,
easier, and more accessible for people of all ages and abilities. For more
information visit http://www.bta4bikes.org/.
Please forward this email to friends and family you think might
appreciate Pink Martini.
