Event Testimonial
"In just ten weeks, you raised over $125,000 in corporate donations and ticket sales; you have put
SAFEchild's name in front of more individuals and businesses through direct contact, speaking engagements
and media placements than we would ever have been able to do without you; and you have certainly
raised the bar when it comes to event planning and execution. The energy that has come from the
grassroots Band Together committee is contagious, not only for SAFEchild, but for the community at
large. Thank you for your selfless commitment to improving the lives of others. You guys rock!"
Linda Nunnallee, Development Director
SAFEchild
On May 10th, 2008, Band Together executed it's mission:
Raise Funds? Check! A BIG ONE that will be north of $100,000 to SAFEchild!
Raise Awareness? Check - we were able to spread the SAFEchild gospel to thousands of potential volunteers, financial supporters, music lovers, and perhaps, some program participants.
Raise the bar? CHECK! And we plan to top it at the next event.
We knew we'd be entertained when we signed George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic with Hobex and Yo Momma's Big Fat Booty Band, but who knew we were in for such a fabulously feathered/sequined/diapered circus on stage.

Credit and appreciation goes out to a lot of folks: Our hardworking Board and Steering Committees, the enthusiastic volunteers, the wonderful people of SAFEchild, and Band Together's lifeblood, our sponsors. Very importantly, Josie Reeves, event chair, is an amazing leader with the heart and soul needed to pull off this very successful event.
We have made a friend in SAFEchild as well as set the stage for raising the bar even higher with the next event.
This Brings our total funds given to charities in just 9 events to over $530,000!
Band Together for SAFEchild Featuring George Clinton Saturday, May 10, 2008
George Clinton is
the greatest innovator of urban based soul, rock and funk. Born in Kannapolis,
NC, Band Together is pleased to bring George home with
his collective to thrust energy and attitude into downtown Raleigh.
The funky worm has turned with George back in control of creative output with
his latest album "Take It to the Stage."
Make May 10th a night to visit the intersection of funk music and local
altruism. Cabarrus Street will be closed off for this Lincoln Theatre
outdoor stage event, so dust off those glittery platform dancing boots
and hot pink feather boas. Funkadelic-ish outfits are strongly
encouraged. Sponsors will get red carpet VIP treatment so don't be shy about stepping up a bit for the cause. Individual sponsorships,
ENTRY TO AFTER PARTY WITH YO MOMMA'S BIG FAT BOOTY BAND ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVER BASIS DUE TO LIMITED CAPACITY, begin with only a
$125 contribution.
This is a 21+ age event.
Why all the hubbub? Band Together has selected
SAFEchild as its 2008 charitable recipient because of the incredible work it does in our area.
SAFEchild is the only local non-profit child abuse prevention agency in our area who works directly with families to prevent two of life's greatest tragedies; child abuse and neglect.
SAFEchild, established in 1992 by the Junior League of Raleigh, is committed to eliminating child abuse in Wake County by helping adults and children create nurturing environments free from abuse and neglect. Through the implementation of ten child abuse prevention programs of excellence
SAFEchild serves more than 650 parents and 5,000 children annually.
