Face Melting Rock to Support United Way in St. Louis

So as the 12.325 readers of the AMI blog know, we here are many things:

  • We are fathers.
  • We are brothers.
  • We are pseudo-rockstars.
  • We are leaders of the anti-Dave Navarro movement.
  • And we are, um, doctors (which, by the way, requires 8 years of, um, medical school).

But mostly, we are givers.  Yes…givers.  Givers of what you ask?  We’re not sure….

 

Anyhoo, as a little philanthropic warm-up to this year’s ‘Stache Bash ’08 extravaganza, AMI is   “getting our charity on” by making sure that those of you that currently and blissfully live in St. Louis – home to the world’s largest mustache with an elevator in it – know about another 3rd annual event happening at the Off Broadway Nightclub on Friday, October 3rd.

 

Indeed, little can be as much of an oxymoron as the term, “Corporate Rock.”  We know this.  Perhaps “Dave Navarro Macho” comes close, but this Friday, October 3rd, five of St. Louis’ best corporate rock & roll bands will go head-to-head to see which can raise the most money for The United Way.  The past two benefit shows have raised close to $9,000, and this year’s show will be bigger than ever. 

 

Please click here for the all the details on the show. 

 

Now, a few bits of important knowledge:

  • Did you know that one million people are helped each year in the St. Louis-area by United Way supported agencies?  Us neither.  That’s 1 in 3.
  • Did you know that more than 90 cents on every dollar goes to help over 200 agencies?  Yeah.  Seriously. 

So call Corporate Rock what you will, but of all the bands that think they’ll change the world…these guys come pretty close.

 

We hope you can come out and say hey.

 

See?  It’s not always about the ‘stache.

 

P.S…yes it is.

About afroman

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Dr. Abraham Jonas Froman is much more. Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing. On October 25, 2008, he ascended to the role of Chief Executive Officer. “I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.” Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita. As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita." Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
