"The House on Christmas Street International Tour" CHARITY

One of my other goals for the tour is to somehow improve each community I visit along the way by doing a concert there. To that end, I present the list of charities that my tour hosts are collecting for along the route. I'm honored to be a part of their efforts to make the world a better place:

The Mitchells, Claremont, NH: Children's Hospital at Dartmouth

The Browns, Lubbock, TX: South Plains Food Bank.
