Party for LIFE was started when Sarah and Marz decided to start putting on benefit shows to help raise money for nonprofit no-kill animal shelters in the summer of 2007. We put a name on it and continued on. Even though our first few shows are all going/went to nonprofit no-kill animal shelters, future shows-a-brewing in our minds are going to help people in need as well. It’s all about RESPECTING LIFE. Not JUST about animals, or JUST children, or JUST homeless people, EVERYONE. We ALL have this GIFT of life that is just as important as any one else’s gift of life, and we ALL deserve to live it. It SHOULD be respected. We want to expand and help as many different lives as we can, while we can. We don’t expect to “save millions of lives†with our efforts, or are under the illusion that we will “end hunger and pain and sufferingâ€. We just want to HELP.
We’re not rich, we’re not celebrities or politicians, we don’t have any kind of popularity or major influence over a lot of people. We don’t have much money at all and are struggling to make it by just like the majority of the population in this country. But we know that there are lives out there that have it MUCH WORSE than WE do. MUCH worse,…so we are doing what we can with what we know to raise money for THEM. We are ALL HERE TOGETHER and should ALL STICK TOGETHER and HAVE EACH OTHER’S BACKS.
In addition to the benefit shows, we have put together the Party for LIFE Compilation CD featuring original music by some of those recently mentioned badass local bands. This CD is the first of a series that is to be sold for $5 at our benefit shows. 100% of the money made off of them will go straight into the total for the charity of that night. We also just got in some buttons and patches that we will sell for $1 each.These buttons and patches were donated by the very generous people at Merica Printing! :D You can find them in our friends.
If you are a performer or your band would like to play one of our shows, or put a song on any future Party for LIFE Compilation CDs, just message us and let us know. We will be more than happy to accept the help!
