We had a fantastic time at our first stop,  the Sacramento Zombie Walk. We rocked all night with a never ending line of the undead. The zombie paparazzi were also out in full force.

We had some extra special riders last night.  We've had Elizabeth,  Queen of England,  the good King Henry VIII,  and Mary,  Queen of Scots ride before,  but we have never before had Jesus ride!  You might say last night got our tour off to a blessed start.

A grand time was had by all. We rocked ourselves to nubbins and in the process raised a large wad o cash for the Albie Aware Breast Cancer Foundation. 

My personal favourite was Bob Ross,  returned from the grave to paint the happy little undead tree here waiting in line for a ride.  I loved his show!  It was such a treat to see that he's still painting so many years after shuffling off his mortal coil.

Next up,  San Francisco!

We are positively delighted to announce that our second stop of the Rocking for Charity tour will be at the Pomeroy Rehabilitation and Recreation center of San Francisco! Their mission of the is to provide recreation, vocational and educational opportunities for people with disabilities through programs and services that encourage self-expression, promote personal achievement, and lead to greater independence.

The  Center provides programs for children, teens, adults and seniors each week with support from dedicated and skilled staff.  Volunteers and interns offer additional support throughout the year.  Center facilities include a therapeutic swimming pool, gymnasium, adaptive computer lab, playground, theater with stage, and a community garden with greenhouse.  The Center also provides employment training and job placement for individuals with disabilities and works in cooperation with St. Mary's hospital of San Francisco to serve people who have experience traumatic brain injury. The Center also serves as the San Francisco Traumatic Brain Injury Network.  We LOVE working with this population and are over the moon about taking these special children, teens and adults for rides.

We are delighted to announce that we will be making a tour stop to benefit the Ronald McDonald house of Hershey, PA on September 6th. Rides will be given starting at 9 am and fun is sure to be had! These dedicated individuals provide a much needed home away from home for the families of children undergoing often lengthy medical treatment. A respite from the stressful environment of a busy hospital is an immensely important thing to help families through a very difficult time.

In other news, the very first printing of our Keep Calm and Rock On shirts arrived today and they are glorious! The green is a cheerful kelly green, the fit and quality are excellent. One of our friends suggested that folks who have them post a facebook profile picture of them wearing it so we can have fun watching our corner of facebook turn green. Mine is already up!

  On Saturday, July 12th,  we kick off our charity tour a bit early. We will be in Roosevelt Park in Roseville California with Shannon McCabe and her Vampires at the Zombie Walk . Join us and the undead as we walk and rock for breast cancer research. This disease touches far too many lives. Join us from 5-9pm for some revelry designed to help banish this disease to the pages of history.

Our trip is getting an early start. Vlad is doing what he does best at a yard sale held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lopez in Bakersfield. All the proceeds of the yard sale and of any donations given for rides will be donated to the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House. You can't miss us, just look for an enormous unicorn on Myrtle street!
