We interrupt Slog silence to bring you this MASSIVELY EXCITING update/opportunity!
As you know by now, Seattle’s very best hometown heroes—that’s Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Pearl Jam, and The Stranger’s elf-powered blog, Slog—have joined forces this holiday season to raise money for YouthCare’s Orion Center. The question is: Whose fans will do the most to help homeless youth right here in Seattle? And look! IT’S WORKING!
TOTAL $$$ RAISED SO FAR FOR THE ORION CENTER: $62,082.41
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis fans have donated: $29,838.14
• Pearl Jam fans: $23,048.27
• Slog fans: $ 8,321.00
And Seattlish fans are still donating: $875.00 so far!
THIS IS JUST AWESOME. M&RL are back in the lead, and in the middle of a three-night stand at KeyArena… hometown power! Suddenly, I feel like a Dick’s cheeseburger.
Anyway! If you donate right away, you could win a pair of three-day passes to the 2014 Capitol Hill Block Party PLUS two nights at the Hotel Monaco! Are you getting this?! That’s you and your bestie seeing every damn band that plays, then resting your sunburned heads on the cushy pillows of a top-rated Seattle hotel. Just donate by noon on Friday, December 13 (any amount counts!), then forward your receipt and tell us in 100 words or less why you want to party at the Block Party and what you’re going to do in your hotel room after. The best reason wins! The winner will be announced Friday afternoon on Slog! Donate to the Orion Center right now!
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis fans: GO HERE TO GIVE!
• Pearl Jam fans: GO HERE TO GIVE!
• Slog fans: GO HERE TO GIVE!
Seattlish fans can go here to give and make a note that it’s pro-Seattlish/anti-Dan-Savage! The fans that raise the most for the Orion Center by December 24th WIN the title of the Best Fans of the Best Band or Best Blog in the Universe Forever!
And give at least $25 to the Orion Center, then forward us your receipt and your commenter handle, and we’ll give you a commenter tag on Slog that says SLOG FAN, MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS FAN, or PEARL JAM FAN! Your choice!
