UAF & Foreigner: Sweet Success!

If you weren't a Foreigner fan before, trust us when we tell you that you will be now! In town for a concert at Tim's Toyota Center last night, the band members followed their tradition of contacting a local charity to get involved with show. The charity - which in this case was United Animal Friends - then gathers volunteers to sell CD's before and after the concert. In return for the efforts, the charity receives $5 for every CD sold! What an awesome idea!
Folks who bought the CD's from UAF volunteers stationed outside the show were also entered to win a signed Les Paul guitar - and to meet the band after the show! UAF volunteer Roger even got to go onstage to promote UAF's causes, and draw the winner for the guitar! An incredible night, for sure, and the best part? UAF received a whopping $1,760 in donations from the CD sales! Everyone's a winner! Kudos to all the UAF volunteers who made this stellar event such a success, and kudos to Foreigner - for supporting local nonprofits and charities where they tour . . . that is truly, truly cool!
