LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ MSO PR) THEORY OF A DEADMAN has teamed up with Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (HFH GLA) to sell $5 bracelets at their shows to benefit the cause and contribute towards a THEORY sponsored Habitat build in the fall. With a goal of eliminating substandard housing worldwide and supporting affordable homeownership, Habitat for Humanity supports this work through donations, volunteer hours and advocacy. The Canadian rockers recently filmed a video to promote this campaign, which you can view here.
"So many people are being affected by the current state of our economy and now more than ever have the need for affordable housing," states the band. "We thought that it was a great idea to get involved and donate our time and help make a difference by building a house later this year," explains frontman TYLER CONNOLLY. "The band and I decided to direct our efforts toward helping a family in my Los Angeles community. We're encouraging fans to pick up a wristband offered at our merch booth this summer. The proceeds will be donated to HFH GLA and help them with their mission of building hope, lives and communities every day."
THEORY OF A DEADMAN is also offering a couple unique VIP experiences to benefit the charity. Fans can bid now at CharityBuzz for tickets to their 7/21 Biloxi, MS and 7/25 Philadelphia, PA shows including a chance to meet and hang with the band and take home a signed guitar. Bids are being accepted now through Wednesday, July 18 at 3pm EDT here.
