Biloxi, MS Multi-platinum, Grammy nominated band 3 Doors Down
will hold their 5th annual "The Better Life Foundation" Concert
and silent auction at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on December
6, 2008, in Biloxi, Mississippi. Additional performers for the
concert will be announced at a later date. This evening is sponsored
by the Mississippi Army National Guard.
3 Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold commented on their efforts: "This
concert we're doing is just another way for us to try and give
back to the area we so dearly love." Doors will open at
5:00 pm with the show starting at 6:00 pm. Prior to the concert,
a silent auction will take place from 2:00 - 4:45 pm in the foyer
of the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel where one lucky raffle winner
will be drawn to win a one of a kind Citizen Soldier Motorcycle
built by Roger and Brigitte Bourget!
The mission of The Better Life Foundation is all encompassing,
to make positive changes in the lives of children, whether that
be food, shelter or medical assistance to name a few. Each and
every year the foundation works to raise funds to donate to various
organizations and hospitals they believe will help them further
this cause.
"To be able to be a part of 'The Better Life Foundation,'
is truly a privilege for me," said band member Matt Roberts. "Over
the past five years the foundation has been able to touch the
lives of many along the Gulf Coast, my life included. I've truly
learned what it means to give back to the community that has
given so much to us. The annual benefit concert has been a great
success and a joy to be a part of. This has simply been because
of the people who have come out to support each year and enable
us to continue to reach the goal of helping others."
3 Doors Down is widely known as one of the most successful rock
bands in modern day history with more than 13 million albums
sold (worldwide) and six #1 singles to their credit. Their latest
self-titled CD topped the Billboard Top album chart and the coveted
iTunes Album chart during its opening week in late May, and has
gone on to become one of the most consistent rock bestsellers
of 2008. The new album has also snagged rave reviews, with the
Associated Press affirming that '3 Doors Down has offered the
strongest collection of their career.' The current single "Let
Me Be Myself" released this week debuted at #1 on the Hot
AC chart.
Since Hurricane Katrina and Gustav hit the Gulf Coast area, The
Better Life Foundation has been working locally to assess the
individual needs of each community and getting them exactly what
they need. The 2007 Better Life Foundation was a huge success
raising over $200,000 to benefit children's charities along the
Gulf Coast area.
