Tickets-for-Charityis an online fundraising platform that allows you to purchase premium seating to sports events and concerts based on a fan's willingness to make a charitable donation in conjunction with their purchase.
Tickets-for-Charity makes those same premium tickets available with one BIG difference, EVERY DOLLAR ABOVE FACE VALUE GOES TO CHARITY.
AND you get to pick which causes you donate to from their list of partner charities. So next time you want Green Monster Tickets to the Sox or tickets for James Taylor, Phish, Coldplay, Brad Paisley, Billy Joel/Elton John, etc., check out our site and feel good about feeding children (or the environment, social causes, etc.) instead of scalpers. It's that simple.

For over twenty years, the Boulder Creek Festival has been the unofficial kickoff to summer in Boulder County. Widely considered Boulder County's favorite event, the Boulder Creek Festival includes three days of festivities featuring a large variety of events, activities, food and entertainment unique to the Boulder community.
The Festival is free to the public and features something for everyone: 10 separate event areas with 500 vendors showcase everything from community arts and crafts to health alternatives and technology while five performance stages feature a spectrum of music and dance. The Festival also features carnival rides, food and beverage vendors, and the signature event: the Great Rubber Duck Race!
April is nationally recognized as Parkinson?s Awareness month thousands in the Parkinson's community are advocating, educating and bringing awareness to the existence and reality of Parkinson?s Disease. Currently there are 1.5 million Americans living with Parkinson's disease and 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
On April 4th, I had the honor of photographing another Victory Summit for the Davis Phinney Foundation.
There were so many amazing moments throughout the day. Matt Ford, a specialist in Movement Science from the Physical Therapy Department at the University of Alabama go the whole room up and dancing around to the music of local band, "Flying Jenny."
There was a panel discussion with 3 patients about (DBS) deep brain stimulation. DBS uses a surgically implanted device (similar to a heart pacemaker) to deliver electrical stimulation to targeted areas in the brain that control movement, blocking the abnormal nerve signals that cause tremor and PD symptoms. It was a striking display when the DBS was turned off, the tremors became obvious until the unit was turned back on.
As is the tradition at the Victory Summit, Davis made a running leap for the stage. Davis spoke about the importance of moments of victory in each day, and got everyone hungry for a slice of apple pie.
He closed out the powerful and informative day with a Victory salute with the crowd.
