Excerpt: But the show isn’t just about saving a beloved downtown venue. JRC also is asking concertgoers to bring unneeded and unwanted clothing and backpacks to the show to donate to the Tumbleweed Center.”We thought, people get tons of extra stuff for Christmas that they either don’t want or need or it’s something that makes a thing they already have redundant,” JRC says. “Tumbleweed could really use that stuff. They provide services for homeless teens, helping them mainstream and learn trade skills. So, if you got 10 extra pairs of pants, any backpacks or household items you don’t need for Christmas, bring those items by, too, and we will make sure they get to the people who need them. ”

Additionally, if you do click the link and read these stories, I’d ask you post a comment about it the host media sites too.
You can guess there’s less and less money going to media coverage for everything, so the more response (good or bad) they get regarding a certain item , the more likely they are to fund that coverage, which means more attention to all of the downtown arts community.
Thanks!
