Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Pearl Jam. Slog. Three great things from Seattle. Three of the best things in the world. But whose fans are the best fans?
We’re finding out RIGHT NOW. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pearl Jam are combining forces with Slog this holiday season to raise money for the Orion Center*, which houses homeless teens right here in our city. YouthCare needs $100,000 to keep the Orion center open seven days a week, providing food, shelter, safety, and alternatives to Seattle’s most vulnerable population over the next year. Together, with the strength of all our fandom, we can do it!
Yesterday was Day One of the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis vs. Pearl Jam vs. Slog Holiday Charity Challenge. Whose fans raised the most money?
YESTERDAY’S TOTAL $$$ RAISED FOR THE ORION CENTER:
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis fans donated: $3,162

** In fairness to Seahawks fans… they’re not a part of this charity challenge, there’s no landing page where Seahawks fans can donate as Seahawks fans, and it’s entirely possible that there are Seahawks fans out there who also fans of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis or Pearl Jam or Slog or all the above. But still: zero dollars?!? Don’t Seahawks fans care about homeless teenagers? GIVE!
