-Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Dear Friends,

Nothing affects me more deeply than to see people take initiative to help others who are in dire need. Our band's proudest accomplishments have been ones that have allowed us to offer assistance to the organizations listed below in furthering their causes of justice and compassion throughout the world. Over time, we'll be growing and developing this section of the website as much as we can, and we certainly hope that you'll stay involved as we do.

Never allow yourself to grow insensitive or complacent to the plight of those who suffer around the world. Please research and get involved in helping the following organizations in any way you are able, today.

Thanks,
Owen Thomas
