Thirteen Yards To Victory Acknowledged By The White House
Thirteen Yards To Victory has been featured on the White House website Serve.gov in their “Stories of Service” section.
A clip from the site:
Boston-based rockers Thirteen Yards to Victory couldn’t help but notice the headlines in the local newspapers and the announcements on social media sites that many arts and music education programs in their area were being cut severely. The bad economy was going to mean a poor education for so many students.
The five members of the band decided to forego the usual trappings and financial rewards that many of their peers enjoy and are releasing their EP American Dreamers on September 15, 2009, as a community service, revenue-generating project that will fund arts and music education programs across the country and in the U.S. territories. All money raised in any state, through the sale of the digital download distributed by TuneCore, will stay in each state to support youth education and enrichment in the arts.

Great Tunes and Congratulations on your support of community services. I encourage you guys to check out the local rotary clubs. You may be able to get them on board with your music project. Rotary is huge on community service for the students in every community.
Keep up the great work and keep me in tune with your next release.
