Concert Fundraiser Announced For Families Of Men Who Sacrificed Lives For DIMEBAG

December 28, 2004

DreamWeaver Entertainment will be hosting a charity fundraiser tribute concert for the families of the victims who sacrificed their lives for the safety of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. The concert will take place on January 22, 2005 at The Royal Grove in Lincoln, Nebraska. The start time has not yet been determined. Doors are approximately 4:00 p.m. through 1:00 a.m.

This Tribute Memorial Benefit Concert will raise funds for the families of the victims who sacrificed their own lives in an attempt to save "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. The donations collected will be split between the victims families (Nathan Bray's and Erin "Stoney" Halk's) who offered their lives to save Dimebag and the other half will go to the Dimebag Memorial Fund, which has been set up to cover the bereavement and medical expenses for DAMAGEPLAN personnel (John "Kat" Brooks, Chris Paliska and Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson),who are either still receving medical treatment or were also killed.

The events of the fundraising day will consist of 14 bands from the Midwest, including VOLUME DEALER (DAMAGEPLAN's support band at the Alrosa Villa) who will be coming in from Columbus, Ohio. In addition to the bands, the mother and wife of Nathan Bray, as well a large support group, will be arriving from the Columbus, Ohio area.

During the changeovers between performances, there will be interviews, a special auction with signed items from headliner bands and special service for a time for closure and unity amongst fellow bands and all attendees.

Admission is $8.00 per person.

If you wish to donate to the Dimebag Memorial Fund you may also send your donation to: The Dimebag Darrell Memorial Fund, 110 SW Thomas, Burleson, TX 76028.
