NEEDTOBREATHE Offers Backyard Concert for Charity‏

NEEDTOBREATHE

NEEDTOBREATHE has offered a private concert as part of their NEEDTOBREATHE Classic auction for charity. The silent auction, which coincides with the Grammy nominated rock band's annual NEEDTOBREATHE Classic celebrity golf tournament, will begin at 6pm ET on March 23rd, and also features items donated by musical artists including Gavin DeGraw, Goo Goo Dolls, Katy Perry, and Kings Of Leon among others. 

Proceeds from both the golf tournament and auction benefit the Palmetto Medical Initiative (PMI), a Charleston, South Carolina-based non-profit organization which seeks to bring quality health care to developing countries around the world.  In addition to tournament participants and spectators, the NEEDTOBREATHE Classic auction is open to fans around the world who can bid on items through the web and their smart phones using Qtego auction technology.  To register for the auction, view auction items, and more, please visit https://qtego.net/qlink/needtobreathe.    

The NEEDTOBREATHE Classic, now in its third year, brings together PGA golfers, celebrity athletes from the NFL and MLB, and Grammy-award winning musicians for a day of golf and an evening of music all for charity at Charleston, South Carolina's Daniel Island Club.  The 2014 tournament raised $140,000, which funded over half the cost of a second medical clinic that PMI is building in Uganda.  Last year, PMI launched its "20 by 20" campaign, a plan to have 20 medical centers built by 2020 in Uganda and Nicaragua with the goal of blanketing a particular area and elevating care for an entire region.  The 2015 NEEDTOBREATHE Classic will specifically benefit PMI's "20 by 20" campaign.  For more information about the NEEDTOBREATHE Classic, please visitwww.commonwealthcares.org
 
In other news, NEEDTOBREATHE is set to release their first-ever live album, NEEDTOBREATHE: LIVE FROM THE WOODS, April 14th. Recorded last September at Nashville's The Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel, NEEDTOBREATHE: LIVE FROM THE WOODS captures the GRAMMY® Award-nominated and 10-time Dove Award-winning rock band on stage and at their best, performing a full live set including such hits as "Washed By The Water," "Something Beautiful," "Keep Your Eyes Open" and "Multiplied."
