Follow on Google News | Commonthreadz Benefit Concert Featuring Billy Joe Shaver And More!A night of music at antone’s july 30th to raise awareness of the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in the developing world and provide school uniforms to children in need in south africa
By: CommonThreadz Chances are you did not know that in many developing countries not having a school uniform means that you are not allowed to go to school, or that by not having one you wear the stigma of having AIDS. In Africa alone, millions of children have never set foot in a school because they cannot afford the required uniform. While some forms of aid can encourage dependency, the uniforms allow students to create their own strength. CommonThreadz will celebrate its launch with a benefit concert featuring the legendary Billy Joe Shaver and other leading Austin bands including Blues Mafia and Twanguero at Antone’s July 30th. Doors open and opening bands begin at 6PM. Billy Joe Shaver and his band will begin their show at 9PM. Tickets are $15 and are available at Antones.net. VIP upstairs table tickets are also available for $50 each (4 tickets minimum). The CommonThreadz benefit featuring Billy Joe Shaver will also include a display of all of the t-shirt designs that have been donated for CommonThreadz’ For more information, please contact: Zac Folk Executive Director CommonThreadz zac@commonthreadz.org 512-913-9369 # # # CommonThreadz is a charity that is working to provide orphans & vulnerable children in developing nations the chance of an education and social acceptance by providing them with the school uniforms that they need in order to go to school.
