>> Project 86 Announce Coats For Cold Nights Campaign
Project 86 is supporting the poor this fall with The Coats For Cold Nights Campaign. Check out the announcement below...

"We are very excited to be starting THE COATS FOR COLD NIGHTS CAMPAIGN on our upcoming PICKET FENCE CARTEL TOUR!

As our band has traveled in recent months, we have noticed that many people have a heart for charity and social action, but have no idea where to begin or how to give of themselves. This seems to be one of the biggest questions in the church: How can I give my time and my resources and know it is being given to a trustworthy cause? We are in the same boat ourselves, so we decided to do something about it.

This charity campaign involves YOU directly at each show.

It's simple, easy, and a great way to use your power to help those who are in a less fortunate position. Here are the details:

As we enter the fall and winter, each year, in every city in our country, there are thousands of homeless people who suffer through cold nights. Project 86 and all the bands on the tour are connecting directly with local homeless shelters and other related organizations in each city we hit on this tour to rally warm COATS AND JACKETS for the people who need them. Have an old jacket and don't know what to do with it? Now you know where it should go. Just make plans to come to the show in your town, bring your friends, and everyone bring a COAT! Details for collections will be at the door of each show.

This is your chance to use your voice to love the ones who need it most..."
