$24,065.60 Raised!
2021 SMW Results Are In!!
Results for the 19thannual Street Music Week (June 14-18) are in and, once again, I’m overwhelmed and grateful to everyone who played a part.
This year’s event raised $24,065.60 for 2ndHarvest food bank, boosting our overall total to more than $290,000.
My appreciation begins with the many amazing volunteers who turned out during the noon hours to perform on Spokane’s sidewalks in the downtown and the Garland District as well as Sherman Avenue in Coeur d’Alene.
Thanks as well to those sweet souls who take care of the administrative duties to make Street Music Week a reality.
I’m talking about…
SMW Vice Commander Jimmy Lyons, who performed a near-miracle when he persuaded the downtown Spokane street grinders to give us all a construction noise-break during the noon hour.
Julie Shepard-Hall, a tireless worker who keeps the event operating silky smooth in the Garland District.
Carey Eyer, who oversees the SMW Facebook page, which is always open and available for posting videos, comments and making donations to 2ndHarvest.
Jenny Wayman, who ran the show this year in Cd’A. The hilarious interview she gave KREM TV when a news crew came calling was priceless.
And a special shout-out to Kathy Hedgcock, 2nd Harvest's director of philanthropy. She keeps track of our donation numbers and is always a text or a phone call away.
Thanks, too, to the many, many donors that ranged from a few coins tossed into a red bucket to our friend John Huckabay, who helped boost our total with yet another generous check.
Next year will be Street Music Week’s 20thanniversary. Can’t wait and hope to see you there!
Until then,
Doug Clark
