BAYA Benefit & The Concert

Here we go, Scientist...in no particular order (I'm purposefully leaving out the camping trip, which needs a post!)

We held a concert on June 9th, in Sonoma. Top ten things that were awesome about the benefit concert: photos (add if you have some!) and links to come...I just had to get the post out there because Scientist's techiness inspired me!

10) The Sonoma Community Center rocked as a venue for our benefit.

9) GASR made her radio morning show debut to promote the event. (recording coming soon)

8)The Yost Foundation proved to be the most amazing source of yummy food, thoughtful advice, a true workhorse who never sleeps (or naps), and generous donations.

7)Made our presence known at the Sonoma Farmers' Market by handing out toothbrushes with info about the concert.

6)The music at the concert was just awesome, Scott Giles and his long time friend Dan, opened with some great music (we never knew Scott could play like that!) Then Storyhill rocked the house!

5)Over 80 people showed up for the concert from Sonoma to Pennsylvania & Australia! Wow! Thanks for coming, Anne & Adam!

4)We created awareness of a great home for children in Honduras, El Refugio. We also had a beautiful display of photos at the concert to share about GASR's recent trip to provide dental care. (and the display was donated!)

3)From the marketing aspect, Country wide Home Loans donated the entire back page of the Sonoma Sun's ad space for our benefit concert. Wow, way to work it Skippy and Sweeny.

2)The moment after the concert, the satisfaction on the faces of BAYA showed that the planning, running around, sleeping in Sonoma, staying up late, calling random newspapers, emailing all day, tracking the website, and shopping for extras last minute was ALL WORTH IT!!!

and the #1 most awesome thing about BAYA Benefit's Concert on June 9th (drum roll...)

We raise over $4,000 to send to El Refugio, which will cover about 25 kids' clothing, food, medical/dental care for a year! So cool.

Way to go BAYA!
