Texas Metal Festival Raises Money For Charity

November 13, 2009

Lorelei Willett of The Battalion Online reports: Gorefest, a metal concert for all ages, will have its fifth annual festival Saturday in downtown Bryan, Texas. Gorefest will feature 16 bands and will raise funds for Scotty's House, a nonprofit organization for abused children that lost more than $20,000 in government funding. Gorefest will run from noon to midnight Saturday at the Stafford, with tickets ranging in price from $5 - $15.

"This is the first year it has been for a charity," said Gorefest creator and promoter Cody Hancock.

Scotty's House was voted off of the list of names offered to citizens who could pick a charity to send their jury pay.
