The 12 bands of Christmas, the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots Benefit Concert, and the Ultimate Auction Items will be held on Sunday, December 9th, at the Mardi Gras Multi Club. One hundred percent of the door and auction bids will be donated to charity, and all of the toys that are raised will be donated as well. There will be a fundraiser for gifts for tots that will be hosted by Providence-fall River-Warwick, Ri-ma-Black-Wiing Productions, and Mardi Gras. There will be a total of twelve rock bands performing at the mardi gras event, which will take place on Sunday, December 9th, at 1500 Oaklawn Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island. These bands include sunset steel, pistol shot gypsy, flash mob, therapy, suburban downfall, cabana boys, scarlett, streets, those alone, and omega reign. The purpose of the event is to raise money for the “toys for tots” Christmas program that is run by the United States Marine Corps. With the help of our sponsors, Mark Duane & Sons Custom Drums and Ziggy Tiffany Guitars Inc., as well as the mardi gras multi club, which is our host venue. For its “toys for tots” initiative, the United States Marine Corps invites new toys to be donated in addition to soliciting financial donations. Among the charity projects that are supported by the United States Armed Forces, this program is among the oldest. Black Wing Productions has been successful in raising about twenty thousand dollars in cash and gifts for the Toys for Tots campaign over the course of the last two years. For more than 25 years, black-wiing productions has been encouraging local bands, musical artists, and national musical talent to perform in their respective communities. “We are thrilled and excited to be working once again for a beautiful and vital cause like toys for tots,” said Eric Tier, vice president of Black-Wiing Production. “Toys for Tots” is a cause that is both lovely and necessary. As part of the fundraising efforts, on December 9th, there will be an auction for a guitar, a snare drum, and a bass guitar, all of which have been signed by sixteen rock artists who are well-known throughout the country. shinedown, who is also a national recording artist, has contributed a signed signature endorsed PRS guitar and a Dean bass to the auction; both instruments are autographed. In addition, black-wiing productions and tier enterprise dj service have contributed musical talent to a variety of other charitable organizations, including the Ronald McDonald House, rock for hunger, the Attleboro Pet Shelter, the Friends of West Warwick Animal Shelter, and the Big Pink Fire Truck. For the purpose of raising knowledge about this charitable organization, Eric and Black Wing Productions have been able to reach a bigger audience via the process of booking, promoting, and now shooting performances by local and national performers. may be found at http://www.black-wiingproductions.com/.
