Borangutan Declares Rock the Cause Week
“Rock the Cause is a phenomenal organization! The RTC team has an amazing passion for helping local non-profits and have already helped our agency by recruiting a number of male mentors, which is one of our biggest needs. We are tremendously appreciative for everything that Rock the Cause is doing to build stronger communities, one child at a time.”
- Nadia Siddiqui, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities
This Friday evening’s Glitter Ball 3 will be the first of many Rock the Cause hosted events in 2010, and to celebrate the kick-off of a great year for Minnesota’s hardest rocking charity, we’ve decided to declare Rock the Cause week on Borangutan. Everyday this week we’ll be bringing you music and testimonials from Rock the Cause artists and partnered organizations, providing insight into what Rock the Cause is all about and why it makes the Borangs rush for their dancing shoes!
We might add we’re not the only ones taking note of this Friday’s festivities; Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak has also acknowledged the tireless efforts of Rock the Cause in our communities, declaring this Friday “Rock the Cause for Big Brothers Big Sisters Day.”
For more information about Rock the Cause’s partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Cities, check out a post we did a couple weeks back. And without further ado, let us introduce you (or perhaps reintroduce you) to Alison Scott, a Minneapolis artist whose unique brand of soul has that special, graceful edge that makes one yearn for that coveted table, front and center, before her stage in an intimately lit Minneapolis club. Please tell us you’ll play a show on February 14th Alison. 
“Rock the Cause, where do I begin!?! The group of people running this organization is top notch. They are 100% committed to the project, and their passion is infectious. It makes the rest of us want to run out and DO something. I just feel like one of the lucky ones, to have been asked to be involved in this is truly exciting. Besides, who else would ask me to tease my hair, throw on some leggings and rock out to ACDC???? If I knew that could raise money, I’d do it every day! Ladies and Gents…help us Rock the Cause! -Alison Scott
