The Concert Before the Storm
Alvarez Garcia proudly sponsored "The Concert Before the Storm" to benefit the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund on July 22, 2006, at the historic Italian Club in Tampa, italian-club.org. This was the first of what likely will become an annual event to benefit the Fund.
The Florida Hurricane Relief Fund, flahurricanefund.org, was established in 2004 to meet the recovery needs of Floridians impacted by the devastation of hurricanes and tropical storms.
"The Concert Before the Storm" generated considerable awareness for the newly-established Fund. Over 125 tickets were sold for an evening featuring performances by Citizen Kane, citizenkaneband.com, Affiniti, affinitirocks.com, A Band Called Drone, and our very own Rick Alvarez. All acts agreed to play without compensation thanks to the benevolence of Jane McKee of Jane's World Entertainment, janesworldtalent.com.
In addition to these entertainers, special thanks must be given to Krista Heavilin and Jay Anthony of the Italian Club, Lee Kercher of 97X "Tampa Bay's New Rock Alternative,"97xonline.com, and Mike Gunn of Gunn Printing, gunnprinting.com, all of whom joined in making the event a success and a certainty in the future.
