Living Room Concerts are great for Project Warmth events as well. I am going out of town in a few days so you can email me (but may have to wait a bit for a reply) or our coordinator Melanie (see below)... The EveryDay Angels Foundation (EDAF) has established Project Warmth to help address the needs of so many people literally left "out in the cold" each winter. The concept is simple: collect coat and blanket donations as the "cost" of admission to a concert, show, sporting event, or party, and distribute them to those in need. Some companies have also held Project Warmth clothing drives as a week long event. For our sixth consecutive year, the EDAF will sponsor Project Warmth events nationwide throughout the winter so that people in need may have more than just a blanket of snow to keep them warm. Our first Project Warmth concert was held eight years ago and featured Jason Mraz. Since then over 30 more artists and bands - including Rachael Sage, Allison Crowe, Adam Ezra, and Randi Driscoll as well as other visionaries - have leant us their talents, time, and expertise. We are in the process of gathering interested artists and organizers to collaborate with on Project Warmth shows this winter. Instead of a cover charge we will ask attendees to bring a warm coat or blanket as their admission "fee". These donations will then be distributed to local shelters and/or agencies that will see that they get directly into the hands of those who desperately need them to keep warm this winter. This includes homeless adults and children as well as abuse victims and runaways. You also have the option of asking attendees to bring old towels, blankets and pet supplies to be donated to local animal shelters. Artists are encouraged to sell their cd's and any other promo items they would like to help defray their costs and spread their music. We will help to promote and advertise your show as well as provide a layout for programs. If you are willing to explore the possibility of presenting a Project Warmth event, please send an email to our Project Warmth National Coordinator Melanie Cobb at mcobb517@optonline.net and let us know what you have in mind. If you already have a show or event planned that you would like to turn into a Project Warmth event, great! If not, we can work together to come up with a date and venue. You can get more details on our website www.EveryDayAngels.org. Click on "Project Warmth programs" for specifics and FAQ's. We hope you will join us this winter as we work to blanket the country with benefit concerts and events for our sixth consecutive year.
