EVENT RECAP
Band Together personifies Margaret Mead's famous quote, "A small group of people can change this world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
In less than two months after signing four amazing bands, our efforts paid off and we executed our most successful event to date. Why?
Approximately 2700 people came to downtown Raleigh, to share a passion for music and raise money and awareness for The Lucy Daniels Center!
Did we raise funds? Approximately $140,000 will be donated to our 2009 Charity Partner, The Lucy Daniels Center. Also our Silent Auction brought in $18,367. and the Guitar Raffle raised $2,500.
Miss the show? Check out this live Rusted Root Clip. Stay tuned for more event photos and videos.
The Band Together faithful can't thank you enough for helping us provide a meaningful and rewarding experience in downtown Raleigh! Our hard work will pay off in The Triangle to improve the lives of children suffering from mental health challenges.
Special thanks to Cargill for being our Presenting Sponsor for the second year!
Until next event…

The Rosebuds are homegrown. They make music that embodies that certain spirit—youthful, but complex. Not at all fairytale, but magical. Not realistic, but real. Perhaps the way youth actually is. Their recently released their 4th and very different album, Life Like.
Chatham County Line: Band Together welcomes Chatham County Line back home from a tremendous touch the world tour, so get ready to be rewarded with some of the best bluegrass, alt-country ever...
Hobex: Doing their 3rd tour with Band Together, we welcome HOBEX back. And to just say they have soul is short sighted. HOBEX is soul and funk and spirit and youthful energy...and they are the kind of local, homegrown entertainers that make us proud to live here.

About the Lucy Daniels Center
According to the Surgeon General, nearly 1 in 5 children will have a serious mental health challenge, more than the number who will be affected by asthma or obesity. However, with early intervention, most of these children can be helped to overcome their challenges and go on become happy, healthy students and adults.
Locally, The Lucy Daniels Center for Early Childhood, the largest non-profit provider of mental health services exclusively for children up to age 11, addresses these challenges. Through its clinical and educational programs the Center’s highly-qualified staff provides mental health services to more than 550 children and their parents annually. All mental health services are provided on a sliding scale fee system, based on family income. Nearly 1/4 of families receive services free of charge.
The charity is a cause without a face given these children’s emotional and mental challenges are not as easily classified as a disease like cancer or as easily observed as children having difficulty walking or talking. It can also be uncomfortable for parents to openly discuss their child’s emotional development. Nonetheless, in most cases, the problems are real and severe to the child and their environment.
Nearly 50 percent of the annual budget comes from donations and less than 10 percent of the Center families pay the full cost for LDC’s services, so these contributions will be largely helping families that would otherwise not be able to afford to get the care available at the Center.
Most of the children in the early prevention program have been expelled from at least one preschool and are at great risk for continued failure and problems without treatment. Through LDC, more than 95 percent of graduates succeed in transitioning back into public classrooms – of great benefit to the student, the parents and the student’s future classmates.
You must be 21 or older to attend this event.
