Stars Go Dim, national recording artists, have a goal of raising $12,000 in 12 days for Convoy of Hope by asking their fans to make a donation or buy their latest single or album.
“The campaign is called 12 Days of Hope and a portion of the proceeds from all sales of their single and album during the campaign will go to our work of helping those who are impoverished and hurting,” says Jeff Roman, corporate relations director at Convoy of Hope.
The Twelve Days of Hope campaign begins on November 25 and ends December 6. To help launch the campaign on the 25th the band will also release their newest video, Between Here and Now, which shows many of the places Convoy of Hope responded to human suffering in 2011 including Haiti and Japan.
“Convoy of Hope is an amazing organization,” says Joey Avalos, guitar player for Stars Go Dim. “They just want to help people ... That’s what pulled us in.”
Recently, the three-member band traveled to Haiti with Convoy of Hope to see the organization’s feeding initiatives in action and to meet children in the orphanages where the organization’s food is distributed. The band also shot footage for the Between Here and Now music video, which can be seen below.
“One aspect of our partnership with Stars Go Dim is that they have made a commitment to give back,” adds Roman.
According to Roman, the partnership with Stars Go Dim is one of many that allow Convoy of Hope to continue meeting needs of millions hurting people. “As our partnership base increases, we continue to reach more and more people around the world who need our assistance,” he says. “Such help allows us to continue to encourage communities to reach out to their neighbors in a spirit of compassion and humility.”
Stars Go Dim is slated to tour in the Philippines this December and looks forward to connecting with Convoy of Hope efforts in that region. The band also plans to be involved in Convoy of Hope outreaches throughout the United States in 2012.
