More street team members and musicians who want to help!
This is the myspace page for the coalition I started that raises awareness about hepatitis C through music, postcards and events. Our coalition members perform at our events and sometimes place our postcards (filled with info about hep c) at their merchandise tables when they perform other shows. Some of them even take the time to distribute them in and around their community. We also have comedians helping us. If you want to join please become our friend and ask for postcards! If you are not an entertainer you can still join our street team and help get the cards out to your community. You can see the full postcard and read all about what we're doing at www.HepCAware.org. Either way please be our friend!
THANKS!
