The Second Annual "Give Love" Event

When: Sunday, July 22, 2007; 1-6pm

Where: Plant Zero (0 East 4th Street, Richmond (Manchester area), VA 23224 US; for directions, go to www.plantzero.com)

What: The Party of the Summer!

Richmond favorite, former professional football player and saxophonist, Lawson “Buzz” Montsinger was injured April 30th, 2006 causing him to suffer a severe spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed. The local community came out in droves to show their love and support at the 1st Annual Give Love to Buzz event, held last summer (July 16, 2006). Buzz’ unbelievable story and journey was captured on the front page of the Richmond Times’ sports section and the event promoted on Lite 98 with a live on air interview between Bill Bevins and musician, Steve Bassett. Because of the great media, over 500 people attended the event last year.

If you were there last year, you know what a great time it was and this year will be no different.  The event has become an annual “reunion” of sorts drawing one of the biggest cross sections of Richmond (past and present) the city has ever seen!  Come party the day away with old friends while meeting some new ones!

The event is drawing near and we are really getting psyched!!!  Tickets will be sold at the door for $20 with the goal being to not only “raise the roof” but to continue raising awareness for Spinal Cord Injury. Thanks to your unbelievable support at last summer's 1st Annual event, Buzz has been able to "survive and thrive" this past year and he can't wait to show you his progress!

Entertainment this year will include a special reunion performance by The Joker's Wild (Buzz' highschool band) which is sure to astound. The group will feature an unbelievable horn section made up of Buzz, Ted Varnier, Roger Carol and Paul Thomasson on saxophones as well as Peyton Johnson and Howard Awad on Trumpets; Randy Moss on guitar, Herbie Atkinson on bass, Walter Sheely on keys, Bruce Olsen on drums, and Gayle McGee on vocals.The Jokers are set to play the last hour of the event from 5-6pm, and Buzz wants to make sure that everyone is prepared to "Drop their pants and Dance" per the old days... so don't miss it!

DJ Jeffrey "Smitty" Smith, alongside Buzz, will be spinning everyone's favorite tunes during the entire day. And if you think you have what it takes to get everybody on the dance floor, we invite you to bring your own CD and see if you can make it happen. There will be a contest for "Who Gets the Crowd Groovin the Most."

The Diamond Dolls will also be making an appearance. This young, beautiful dance troupe will perform a number for the crowd that you won't forget!

Big Daddy will be there offering his brand of bodacious barbecues and there will be cold beverages and Mojitos a plenty! 

We need people to work the door from 1-3:30 and 3:30-6 (2 each, per shift) so if you are ready and willing please email us and let us know! shannon@givelovetobuzz.com

Can't wait to see you there! Please spread the word... GIVE LOVE SUNDAY JULY 22nd!
