The Buzz
We are 3 days out from the show and it seems like Chipapalooza has more buzz than ever before. People seem pretty excited and we hope that we've created something that people really look forward to and enjoy. All of the Chipapalooza fans have done an amazing job promoting the concert - we are seeing about 50 tweets a day about Chipapalooza, over 1,000 fans on facebook are helping promote the show, we have been mentioned in the Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, 98 Rock online, on WRNR radio, and even in a Ny Times best-selling book by Oprah Winfrey's trainer, Bob Greene. We've had tons of people volunteer to work the concert, we have a bunch of great sponsors supporting the event, and we have a great venue - The Bowie Baysox Stadium, where many other huge artists have played at - Bob Dylan, Ludacris, and even Willie Nelson.
After the very first Chipapalooza, many people demanded that we do more concerts. This led us to form a dream - what if Chipapalooza became the next Virgin Fest, or Bonaroo, or Woodstock? At first, it seemed far-fetched - we knew nothing about concerts, the music industry, or how to run a non-profit business. However, we have persevered, kept our minds open to new ideas and suggestions from attendees, we've recruited talented people to plan the concert, and we've maintained a passionate dedication to our cause. As a result, the concert has grown and we have raised more money for the JDRF. While we are pleased with how far we've come, we are not content and we will continue working harder than ever to improve the concert and turn it into one of the best festivals in the world that raises enough money to finally cure diabetes.
We are so close to a cure with trials already curing diabetes in mice. The money raised at our show can make a real difference in the next steps towards a cure in humans. You can make a difference by attending Chipapalooza - and you can have a great time doing it.
I can't wait to see everyone at this year's show!
