This was the first year that our northern Arizona legal team held a local Code: Red Summer Heat Relief water drive. We wanted to thank all of the Bullhead City area community members that helped us beat our goal of collecting 500 cases of water!

Together we collected 518 cases. Volunteers from the River Resource Center then delivered the water to local homeless and disadvantaged families during the hot summer months.

An eclectic mix of music will be featured this Saturday night (Oct. 1st) in Phoenix at the “Come Together” benefit concert. Proceeds will benefit the Phoenix Rescue Mission and I Have a Name Project. Both entities focus on increasing awareness, improving living conditions and giving a voice to the needs of the homeless population in the Phoenix Valley.

United Voices Join to Make a Difference

From 7 PM to 2 AM, original jam band tunes by Gelatinous Groove will be featured center stage at The Pressroom, Phoenix along with the sounds of:

• Pink Floyd (Empty Spaces)
• Phish (Freezer)
• Grateful Dead (Xtra Ticket w/ Special guest Mark Karan of Ratdog)

Must be 21 & over to attend. Tickets for the 2016 “Come Together” benefit concert are $15 in advance, $20 at the door and $50 for VIP seating.
