Entertainer Scott Helmer Seeks Presenting Sponsor for Charity Concert Tour

PHOENIX - May 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Independent national touring and recording artist Scott Helmer, who has opened for iconic acts such as Heart, Eddie Money, 3 Doors Down and Big Country, will now spend an entire year traveling more than 25,000 miles across America, performing 200+ concerts in venues ranging from elegant, vaudville-era historic theatres to saloons to RV parks and campgrounds to arenas to Harley-Davidson dealerships, all to help charities and nonprofits raise $1 million for their good causes within one year. The Support YOUR Cause Tour 2014-2015 kicks off on May 17, 2014 with a motorcycle ride and concert to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) at Los Angeles Harley-Davidson of Anaheim, CA, and wraps up with a benefit for the Calumet Theatre in Michigan on April 25, 2015.

First announced in November 2013, Helmer’s tour consists of the entertainer’s offer to all charities and nonprofits across America: Upbeat and energetic, solo-acoustic performances of his family-friendly brand of rock-n-roll and country music at their fundraising event free of charge. To date, more than 100 charities have taken advantage of Helmer’s offer and signed up. Good causes that will benefit range from the Kostopulos Dream Foundation in Salt Lake City, UT to the Historic Homestake Opera House in Lead, SD, from Second Harvest Community Food Bank in St. Joseph, MO to the Grand Auditorium in Ellsworth, ME. New dates and charities are being added each week and the ever-expanding schedule can be seen on Helmer’s tour page (http://www.scotthelmer.com/pages/tour).

After making a huge mistake back in 2008 that cost him everything, including both his livelihood and his family, Helmer decided to not give up, hit the reset button on his life and started building a new one based on three simple things; creating music, performing music, and helping others. Helmer will not handle any money or donations on behalf of organizations during his performances on the Support YOUR Cause Tour. “I am simply offering to perform at any fundraising event free of charge, to help them raise money and awareness for their cause,” he explained. His only requirement is that the charity has a goal to raise at least $5,000 during their event.

Helmer now needs a key ingredient to make this tour successful and is offering one 'Presenting Sponsor (http://www.scotthelmer.com/pages/presenting-sponsor-benef...)' slot at the $45,000 level, which will underwrite an RV.  “I will be on the road nonstop for over a year, in a new town each day, playing 5 to 6 concerts per week, and need a safe, reliable all-weather form of transportation.

Helmer’s no stranger to playing benefits and touring for good causes. In the past, he has played fundraising events for the Wounded Warrior Project, Operation Comfort, homeless and anti-violence shelters, toy drives, food banks and victims of the 2012 Colorado wildfires. The singer is also an enthusiastic volunteer for Musicians On Call, a program that brings the healing power of music to hospital patients and will continue his commitment to their efforts during this tour.
