It feels like time is going by so quickly on tour. The routing is different this year so at times I think tour is just starting when really we only have a few weeks left. We had awesome volunteers, Brett and Melissa. Melissa is a cancer survivor and is currently in her one year remission. It was awesome to talk to her and learn about her story.
The Maryland show is a hometown show for 11:11 A.M., so we can’t wait to see our friends and other staff! We will have some cut the line passes hopefully for your favorite bands, so stop by the tent to get yours!
We had a great signing with We Came As Romans today! A lot of the 11:11 A.M. Staff was out helping at the tent. It was quite a hot day but that’s been the trend lately! We are excited for New Jersey, hope to see new faces!
Didn’t think it could be more hot than yesterday but we were wrong. We had a good time though despite the weather! We had Gym Class Heroes cut the line passes and now have a Gym Class Heroes drumhead we are going to have at our tent tomorrow. Come to the tent to find out how to get it!
This is a big year for our team. We have our most ambitious goal to date. $125,000. If we hit that goal we will have raised over $500,000 for LLS! With that in mind we decided to do something a bit different with the incentives. Something truly unique and amazing. Check out the details below and a message from Andrew.
GOLDEN TICKET GIVEAWAY = Winner will get a VIP merch package (including an autographed guitar) and coffee with Andrew (pending Andrew’s touring schedule and a mutual agreed upon date)
- For every $100 you raise as a walker or virtual walker, you will get one (1) entry.
- If you raise $750 or more as an individual walker, your entries double (2x). For example, if you raise $800, you will get 8 x 2 = 16 entries in all.
- If you raise $1,500 or more as an individual walker, your entries triple (3x). For example, if you raise $1,650, you will get 16 x 3 = 48 entries in all.
** Entries for the golden ticket giveaway are the ONLY items that will be doubled or tripled. Physical incentives and/or concert tickets will NOT be multiplied.
Fundraising incentive levels:
$100 - $749.99 = become an LLS Champion for Cures (Light The Night t-shirt, wristband for free food and refreshments, and a lighted balloon) + 1 giveaway entry for every $100 raised.
$750 - $1,499.99 = DJF poster signed with a personalized message from Andrew + 2x the giveaway entries.
$1500+ = DJF poster signed with a personalized message from Andrew + 2 JM concert tickets for 2012 plus soundcheck attendence (pending tour schedule) + 3x the giveaway entries.
**Walkers who qualify for incentives may choose to donate their incentives back to the Dear Jack Foundation instead of receiving them.**
Terms and conditions: The Dear Jack Foundation reserves the right to modify or revoke the incentive program at any time. One walker per fundraising account; fundraising pages cannot be combined. The close of the Light The Night fundraising season, for purposes of DJF incentives, is deemed to be December 31, 2011. Incentives and winners of the Golden Ticket Giveaway will be determined on or about March 31, 2012.
We survived the 100 degree weather! And in the process met a ton of new people. A lot of Jack’s Mannequin fans! We had a few Gym Class Heroes cut the line passes too. We’ll have more tomorrow, but get to the tent early! We are loving the east coast! Meeting familiar faces and new friends is always great. Today, someone walked up and asked about the cause and donated everything they had. It was a great feeling to see that!
