Taking Back Sunday announced that the
band will perform a string of headlining dates for Boost Mobile
RockCorps (BMRC), a national youth volunteerism movement that
harnesses the power of music to motivate young people to get involved
in their communities. The upcoming concerts, which are free to anyone
volunteering four hours of community service to BMRC projects,
expands on a partnership between the band and BMRC that began when
the New York-based quintet performed to 5,000 enthusiastic volunteers
at last year’s BMRC season wrap concert at Radio City Music Hall.
Now in its third year, Boost Mobile RockCorps’ program is simple yet
effective: young people donate four hours of volunteer service to a
BMRC-related project, and in exchange they earn a ticket to attend a
high-profile concert in their city. Since 2005, BMRC has directly
inspired more than 19,000 young people to volunteer in their
community, working on a wide range of service projects including
school and playground renovation, park preservation, food
distribution and more.
"Communities are like gardens,” notes lead singer Adam Lazzara when
asked why they chose to get involved with BMRC. “Without upkeep and
care, without maintenance, it is impossible for them to grow, to
produce anything of value. By offering an incentive, Boost Mobile
RockCorps is teaching this valuable lesson to our nation's youth
in whose able hands our community’s futures lie. We are honored to
have the opportunity to take part -- BMRC rules."
