Giving Back to the Community
We feel that the local Electronic Music community has a slight misrepresentation. We feel that together we are able to make a positive impact on our community. We have decided to start our efforts by hosting food drives where the food is donated to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, and a donation campaign where proceeds for events are donated to the Renown Foundation to be distributed towards the Cancer Center at Renown Health. We feel that both operations help our community in two very wonderful ways, helping with hunger, and localized cancer treatment.
Our Current Campaign
Our current campaign is called Dollar for Pound. We have decided to discount admission into our events that we designate as food drives by $5.00 when a guest donates at least 1 can of food. The food is then taken to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada where it is weighed. After we have the receipt for the weight of food donated in pounds, we donate a portion of our proceeds from the event that matches the amount of food donated in pounds. Our goal for this campaign is 10,000 lbs of food and $10,000.
What's new with our community?
With this event, we have raised more food than ever before. We weighed in at 1122 lbs of canned food. Today I’m going to be donating $1122 to the Renown Foundation, bringing up our total donations to $4062 towards our local Cancer Treatment Center, and 4062 pounds of food to help feed the hungry.

I would like to take a moment to say Thank You to everyone who donated food at our event on saturday night. I am pleased to inform you that the Food Bank of Northern Nevada is ecstatic to see what our community is trying to do to help the hungry. We weighed our donation at 1073 pounds of food, and were able to donate $1073.00 to The Renown Foundation for Cancer Services. We have decided to name this fundraiser Dollar For Pound, where we will be donating not only to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, but also to The Renown Foundation’s Center For Cancer Treatment.
