Decemberchild Benefit Concert:

Coming November 17, 2007

 

The 13th Annual Decemberchild Benefit Concert returns to the Felton Community Hall on Saturday, November 17th, and promises to be the biggest and best yet. Headlining the show is Tom Savell with Superior Olive featuring Aynsley Dunbar of Journey, Zappa, Starship, and many more. Local favorites Archer will be taking a break from their European tour to throw down a kicking set of hard rock. And opening the show is 2007 Metro Goldies award winning band, Blueprint, with their fun, pop-rock style featuring Tom Savell on violin. Doors open at 7PM.

The Felton Community Hall will be transformed with a birthday party theme featuring a taco bar, refreshing beverages, birthday cake, and ice cream. And you can win great raffle prizes like an Epiphone Les Paul guitar and a Creative Zen MP3 Player! One ticket is included with admission, and you can buy as many more raffle tickets as you like to increase your chances of winning.

All proceeds are donated to the Valley Churches United Missions, to benefit their many programs for the needy, including the Valley Christmas Project, which last year reached out to 11,075 people with Christmas presents and healthy meals. This is a true labor of love the volunteers work tirelessly to wrap the presents and package up the meals to deliver in time for Christmas.

The Decemberchild Concerts began when Jacob John Save decided to rent the stage at Felicita Park in Escondido, CA to throw a birthday party for Tom Savell. They invited all of their friends that were born in December, had a keg of beer, and more food and sodas than they could possibly consume. When the band started to play and people from other picnic areas started coming and enjoying the music and the beer, they discovered that all the families in the park were celebrating somebody's December birthday. And so it was the beginning of the Decemberchild Concert series.

After a few years, the Decemberchild Concert became the Decemberchild Benefit Concert, and has continued to grow each year to provide larger and larger donations to charities such as Valley Churches United Missions and Toys For Tots.
