by As most of you know, the area around Oso in eastern Snohomish county was hit with what will likely be the worst landslide disaster of modern times in U.S. history, at least in terms of casualties. One thing we have always done in the northwest is that when people are in trouble or need our assistance, we roll up our sleeves and we do what we can. No where is that more true than the community hit hardest by this horrific event. Everyone knows everyone out there and that makes it all the more harder to deal with. Benefit shows to raise money for the all those affected are now starting to be organized.
We’re compiling a list of benefit shows that are going on in the northwest.
If you’ve heard of a benefit that includes music, email the editor at [email protected]
In response to the tragic events in Oso/Darrington, the Wild Buffalo and What’s Up! Magazine will be hosting a benefit concert and silent auction in Bellingham on Thursday, April 10th. 100% of funds raised will go directly to Snohomish County Helicopter Rescue Team and The Disaster Relief Account for Oso Landslide Victims through the Cascade Valley Hospital Health Foundation. Donations at the door. Please bring cash…that is what they need most right now and they are not set up to take “stuff”. I will be accepting donation items for the silent auction. If you have a prize you wish to donate please let me know and we can arrange for me to pick it up. I know you will all do what you can. Performers will be announced on Friday. If you wish to be considered for the line-up or volunteer in any capacity, please comment below with who, what, how you want to help and Craig Jewell or I will let you know. Updates will be made available on the Wild Buffalo page as they are available. Time to show em the power of music and community. stay tuned.
