For the sixth consecutive year, BlowUpRadio.com is bringing together some of the best indie musicians for Banding Together: A Benefit For The Spondylitis Association of America.
The webathon will air on internet radio station BlowupRadio.com the weekend of October 19th through 23rd, and feature live performances from over 60 bands. Artists include some of the best up-and-coming artists as well as nationally known artists.
"The webathon will be the internet radio equivalent of the Jerry Lewis
telethon, only with better music," says Lazlo, the founder of
BlowUpRadio.com and the organizer of Banding Together.
During the course of Banding Together, listeners will be encouraged to
donate money via a secure on-line section of the Spondylitis Association Of
America's website. Everybody donating during the webathon will receive a
free digital download of a webathon exclusive collection of songs from some of the bands performing. A complete track listing will be available soon on http://www.BlowupRadio.com
The Spondylitis Association Of America (SAA) is a non-profit organization that was the first and remains the largest resource for people affected by spondylitis. Through their efforts, they help advance education, research and treatment for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and related diseases. More than 50,000 people per month visit SAA's interactive website to access over 1600 pages of up-to-date content for information and support. For more than 25 years' SAA has dedicated all of its resources to help improve the lives of people coping with spondylitis.
"This is a very personal benefit for me as my wife, Naomi, suffers from
ankylosing spondylitis (AS).", says Lazlo, "I have seen the debilitating
effects of this disease and the chronic pain and discomfort it causes. This
benefit is the least I can do to help my wife, and over a million others who
suffer from AS."
