"Tearin' Down the Walls" Concert to Benefit the Homeless December 15th

The community is invited to participate in this benefit and encouraged to
break the isolation and cycle of poverty by Tearin' Down the Walls. We
believe it is time to eliminate the stigma and demystify the images
associated with people who are homeless. Those in our communities who are
homeless are no different than anyone else. They are members of our
community; our friends, neighbors, and coworkers. There has been an effort
to invite current shelter residents to attend this concert. The goal of
Tearin' Down The Walls is to raise money for Churches United for the
Homeless and the YWCA Shelter.

This benefit is being sponsored by PEPP, a tax Exempt, 501-c-3 nonprofit
organization working in Fargo-Moorhead for the past 21 years. PEPP has
joined forces with local musicians in order to bring  attention to the
issue of Homelessness in the Fargo –Moorhead Community.

These musicians will be donating their time and talents in order to help
raise awareness about the issue of homelessness in our Communities. All
the musicians involved in this benefit have social commentaries woven
throughout their lyrics and music. Several of the participating musicians
have been homeless themselves.

Three musical groups will be showcased during the benefit concert. The
Cedars will perform acoustic Folk Rock from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Raven
Darkcloud will perform Organic Blues Folk Rock from 8:00 to 8:30 PM. Big
Bubba Brown will perform the finale with New Orleans Blues and folk.

A free will offering will be requested of those attending the concert;
however, no one will be turned away if they are unable to make a monetary
contribution. All proceeds will be donated to Churches United for the
Homeless and the YWCA shelters, and divided equally between the two.

A list of items most needed by both shelters will be distributed so people
can make appropriate donations to both shelters.

As a sponsor of this event, PEPP will receive all tax  deductible
donations for this benefit. The entire proceeds of the benefit will be
distributed equally between the
two shelters.

If anyone is unable to attend the concert but desires to support this
effort, you are encouraged to do so by sending your donation to PEPP at
116 12th St. S., Moorhead, MN 56560.  All financial Donations are Tax
Deductible.
