Hey folks - Adam will be part of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Holiday Train 2009. Adam will be on two different runs in the United States: the U.S. North-East run, and the U.S. Midwest. If you are in the area, please come out and support this great cause and hear some great music. Below is the schedule for the runs Adam will be a part of, as well as some info on the event:
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train hits the rails again this November, visiting over 130 communities in eight states and six provinces. In the last decade, the Holiday Train has help raise $4 million and 2 million pounds of food for local food banks.
In these tough economic times, 20% more Canadians are turning to food banks for support this year and 30% more Americans are at risk of hunger. Hunger continues to be a problem and food banks need our help now more than ever.
Bring a cash or food donation to the Holiday Train event in your community and help feed the need.
