This post has been a long time in the making and I thank you for reading it. I have been part of a group of musicians and artists gathering regularly for about the last 6 years, The Dog Beach Drummers and Dancers!
See the group here- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1800010960231022
It definitely does not feel that long and yet here we are. It began as a small group of friends and now we have over 1500 members! We are wanting to grow even more... But how? Good question. As we continue to play music and positively influence each other and the surrounding areas we had the idea of providing more to people in places we could not always be in and thus was born the idea of PLAYING IT FORWARD.
To the point! We are going to begin to raise money towards social-emotional healing and education for children through music and the arts on the South and West sides of Chicago.
How? We are developing relationships with people who are already doing that work in those communities and we want to be a positive part of their labor in any way we can and we are starting with a Go Fund Me, The Dog Beach Drummers and Dancers Fund (I am not sold on the name but we have to start somewhere).

Please take a look at the GoFundMe. I am looking to this community to help in any way you can with a donation, sharing on social media, volunteering, connections, whatever. Everything helps.
I also have a podcast and we dedicated an episode to this group and this cause so please check it out and you will also gain a little further insight into our gatherings, the ecstatic states we all know and love and this Charity project we are embarking upon.

We are looking to book some gigs to help our cause. So we get to do what we love... drum, dance, party and create positive vibrations and use our efforts to also help those in need through the mediums that have been so beneficial to us! AKA PLAYING IT FORWARD
Long post, lots here, much love. We all want to help others I believe. Here is a reminder that there are many ways to do that. -Daniel
