CRUEFEST ATLANTA
APRIL 4, 2008 @ THE 10 HIGH CLUB
For more than 5 years, the association known as "CrüeFest" has promoted bands that follow in the Motley Crue spirit. Events are held at various locations around the world throughout the year to spotlight these bands and to raise money for the Skylar Neil Foundation, Nikki Sixx's Running Wild in the Night Foundation, Tommy Lee's Charity of choice St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Mick Mar's charity Spondylitis Association of America.
Crüefest Atlanta plans to raise funds for the Skylar Neil Foundation, The Atlanta Covenant House in the name of Nikki Sixx's Running Wild in the Night Foundation, and The Friends of Scozz Foundation.
The Skylar Neil Foundation was founded by Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil in honor of his daughter Skylar who died at age 4 from cancer in 1995. The Skylar Neil Foundation helps children who suffer from Leukemia, Cancer, and Aids. The Skylar Neil Foundation has raised over $1,000,000 to date.
The Running Wild in the Night Foundation was founded by Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx.. The Running Wild in the Night Foundation is dedicated to raising funds for Covenant House. Covenant House is the largest privately-funded childcare agency in the United States providing shelter and service to homeless and runaway youth. The money we raise for "Running Wild in the Night" will stay here in Atlanta and go directly to the Atlanta Covenant House.
The Friends of Scozz Foundation was founded by the fans of Asphalt Valentine and for Marybeth Valentine who is very ill. The Friends of Scozz was created to raise funding for the medical expenses Scozz (the drummer for Asphalt Valentine) and Marybeth are facing. The medical cost have become overbearing. All we can do for the emotional challenges they are facing is hope for a speedy recovery and keep them both in our thoughts and prayers. For the financial challenges, we can pull together and help a friend in need.
Attendees are asked to come celebrate the miracle of life with us and help raise funds to continue the fight against childhood diseases, help give runaways a place to live and help a friend in need. All proceeds are donated directly to charity.
Event sponsors donate money and merchandise while the bands donate their talent. The highlight of Crüefest Atlanta is the opportunity for Motley Crue fans to get together and raise money for charities. The benefit features the bands as well as the free merchandise, auctions and raffles.
