NeighborImpact advances capital campaign through Les Schwab Concert Series

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- NeighborImpact is thrilled to partner with Les Schwab to spotlight our important work at this year’s Les Schwab Tires Concert Series at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater. On Friday, June 24, concertgoers will find us in the Les Schwab booth, where we’ll share information and invite attendees to enter a raffle for a Breedlove Guitar!

The complete guitar package includes a built-in electronic pick up for plugging into larger venues, protective Breedlove gig bag and some extra swag to enhance the Breedlove experience. Yours for a song, a $25 raffle ticket buys a chance to own this Breedlove Pursuit ES Concertina guitar. All raffle proceeds support the construction of NeighborImpact’s new food bank warehouse. Raffle tickets are available at bit.ly/play4asong.

“NeighborImpact has enjoyed a decades-long, mutually beneficial relationship with Les Schwab,” said NeighborImpact executive director Scott Cooper. “We welcome their engaging us in the Concert Series as a way of broadening their support.”

Through its Concert Series program, Les Schwab is featuring 21 community organizations at 24 of the series’ 51 confirmed concerts. A variety of nonprofits will build awareness for – and engagement with – their efforts to address homelessness and advance support for children, families and education in the Bend community.

“Reinvesting in our stores’ hometowns is built into Les Schwab’s identity,” said Les Schwab’s Chief Marketing Officer Dale Thompson.

“Our stores and headquarters are always looking for ways to do our part to help improve our communities,” he said.

“We’re excited about NeighborImpact’s new food warehouse, and it will be great to rally support at this concert.”
