ADDITIONAL HELP NEEDED TO RECOVER FROM THEFT

Our entire storage trailer, the one that contained almost everything we owned at SoulPlay, was stolen earlier this summer from its resting place at our venue.

The financial loss is estimated at above $50,000. Unfortunately, none of this loss will be covered by insurance. Though this is much more devastating than a financial loss. That trailer contained a lot of our history. The accumulation of things over the past 8 years of producing SoulPlay events.

Thank you so much to everyone that has contributed to our fundraiser for recovering from the theft of our trailer. We are grateful to have raised $32,000 so far (over 60% of our goal!)

Please help us reach our goal so we can continue to produce these amazing events. Thank you!!
