DESCRIPTION:WHAT:
\nBay For The Bayou - Part Deux!

\n\nPresenting a Benefit 
 concert and auction to increase awareness and help save the Louisiana 
 coastal wetlands that are disappearing at the rate of one football field 
 every half hour. The event will feature Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and 
 Grammy nominee Allen Toussaint with his band, soulful Bay Area favorites, 
 The California Honeydrops, plus special guests. 

\n\nAllen Toussaint 
 is known for producing and writing songs for the original Meters, Dr. John, 
 and The Wild Tchoupitoulas, and for penning a multitude of hits including 
 Lady Marmalade, Yes We Can and On Your Way Down. The California Honeydrops 
 embrace the traditions of blues, gospel, second-line New Orleans jazz, and 
 early R&B.
 
The benefit concert will include many special guests and 
 an auction of donated art and goods from the Bay to the Bayou. The Bayou is 
 a non-profit of volunteers -all proceeds will directly benefit urgently 
 needed environmental restoration in Louisiana’s wetlands.\n\nWHY OUR 
 PASSION:
\nAmerica’s largest coastal wetlands, located in the Louisiana 
 Delta, are disappearing at the rate of one football field every half hour. 
 That’s over 25 square miles, an area roughly the size of Manhattan, every 
 year!  This is one of the most urgent ecological crises in the history of 
 the United States.
 
\n\nSince 2010, For the Bayou has raised and 
 directly granted $40,000 for wetland restoration projects and community 
 recovery in South Louisiana.  Through its grants and partnership with 
 Restore the Earth Foundation, For the Bayou has helped to create awareness 
 and attract additional funding and participation by approximately 400 
 volunteers across the United States in support of restoration of over 100 
 acres of wetlands in coastal Louisiana.
