Music For Mankind®: 05/12/12

Once again I have the incredible honor of singing our National Anthem for the Vermont Lake Monsters baseball game in Burlington, Vermont on Saturday July 7, 2012 at 6:05 PM.

And while promoting that event we are selling tickets to that game (you get to hear me sing!) through this link and $3 of every ticket sold using the link will be contributed to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf of Burlington, VT, a Feeding America Foodbank affiliate, and the United Nations World Food Program. I say it all the time, and it's true. We really are helping locally and globally. And even more true, we need your help to succeed in our efforts.

Please let me say that again. We need your help to succeed in our efforts.

The link is active until June 7, 2012, so get your tickets now.

Enjoy an evening of minor league baseball (the best!) at affordable prices in a stadium that will take you back to the "good ole days" and at the same time help those who struggle every day to survive.

I say that last line a lot, too. I've seen it. Maybe you have, too. I'll never forget the look in those children's eyes in Nicaragua when I handed them a bowl of food.

Hungry.

For many of them it was the only meal they would get all day. They walk 8 mountainous miles up a dirt road to go to school and get one meal with added nutrients so they have all the nutrition they will need for the day.

Hungry.

The incredible work of the United Nations World Food Program makes that food and that help possible.

And here in this country where we have so much, there are families who struggle every day. Organizations like the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf really make a difference in their lives.

So please help us help them. Come to the game. Buy your tickets early through this link.

Can't make it to the game but would still like to help? Donate here and we'll send the money directly to the organizations.

Rob Meehan, Director of the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf said, "We are honored to once again have Kelly Moore and Music For Mankind help us in the fight against hunger. The funds raised by Music For Mankind will be used to buy food for the growing number of people in need throught the Burlington and surrounding towns in Chittenden County. This donation comes at a time when our food supplies are low and our donations are down. Thank You Kelly for all you do!"

We really can make a difference together. I keep hearing and reading about donations in these very difficult economic times being down, and support overall being much lower. A ticket to a baseball game, or a donation of a similar amount doesn't seem like much. But it can really make a difference. Really!

When I sing the National Anthem it's a very moving experience for me. And singing it to help others means so much more.

The Vermont Lake Monsters are the only organization that have offered me this opportunity to help at the same time. Their generosity simply cannot be overstated. I am incredibly grateful that they make this possibility a reality for me to help in this way.

I sincerely hope that you will join us in this effort. Ticket sales through this link and donations here will make the difference. Please help.

Thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support.
