SMILE TRAIN
So many times people shout out requests for
songs, that we've hit upon a novel idea....We
will play your request, whether it's a song we
know well or not, if you will throw paper money
at us while we play it, to donate to Smile Train!!
It's worked great so far, and with a final
throwing session during Tenderness we have
raised enough money at every show for a smile
or even two!
It's a wonderful way for us all to be
immediately involved in changing a kids life
forever, for the price of a drink!!
These kids will be eternally grateful, so will the
Universe, and even maybe your liver! People
tell me they are still smiling weeks after, just
through making a donation,
and we certainly love prancing around the
stage under a rain of greenbacks like strippers!!
See Smile Train blog for current totals from each city
If you would like to make a donation please visit
www.smiletrain.org
100% of this donation goes to this operation
0% will go to overhead!!
