Keep The Flame Burning
Tax deductible
We are Flame, a group of talented musicians who happen to have disabilities, and are looking to get “by with a little help from our friends.” We have traveled around the United States on a custom tour bus that was specially designed to meet our needs and it has served us well, but now our bus is in desperate need of replacement.
We purchased the bus in 2007 through donations and fundraising efforts. It has take us over 150,000 miles, allowing us to inspire millions of people. But being the machine that it is, it breaks down on us from time to time and repairs are very expensive. More than anything, we hate canceling shows due to breakdowns. Right now we have several issues that will soon become serious problems. Most of the problems are mechanical and there are a few cosmetic issues affecting the undercarriage and side panels as well. We take pride in our ride and we want to continue to share our music with all of you, but to do that we need a new set of wheels! We have till December 30, 2018 to raise the money.
Flame is supported by Lexington, the Fulton County Chapter of NYSARC, Inc., a not-for-profit agency, and the cost to them to operate and support a special band like ours is considerable.
Your donation will help fuel the new Flame bus to keep the "Flame" burning and allow us to continue inspiring people through our music, giving hope to a million more people with disabilities and their families.
We have already triumphed over disabilities including autism, paralysis, Down syndrome, developmental disabilities and blindness. We need your help to triumph over this bump in the road to continue on our journey. All donations are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michelle, David, Nick, Adrienne, Andrew, Aislinn, Karl, Shawn, Debbie, Zach and Jimmy - Flame Band Members
