Taking Back Sunday Get a Boost

05/31/07
. (PR) Taking Back Sunday announced today 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.

"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."

To become involved in Boost Mobile RockCorps and receive tickets for this event or an event in your area, please call 888-ROCK-889 or log onto www.boostmobilerockcorps.com.
