AAF-FW to Host Stadium Concert Featuring A Hard Night's Day and Benefitting the Limbs for Life Foundation

The Fort Worth Chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF-FW) will host A Hard Night's Day at LaGrave Field, home of the Fort Worth Cats, on Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 7:00 to 10:30 p.m.  Concert proceeds will benefit the Limbs for Life Foundation, a global nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness of the challenges facing amputees and providing prosthetic care for individuals who cannot otherwise afford prostheses.

This year's concert will again feature Beatles cover band A Hard Night's Day, and will attempt to relive the Fab Four's greatest hits in a live outdoor stadium show under the stars, reminiscent of their incredible 1965 Shea Stadium performance.  A Hard Night's Day is one of the most popular and acclaimed Beatles tribute bands in the nation, and is honored to be playing at a benefit for the Limbs for Life Foundation.

"We are so excited for another successful event with A Hard Night's Day that supports such a great organization," said Mike Roundtree, AAF-FW president.  "If the past years' concerts are any indicator, we'll raise money for a great cause and have a lot of fun doing it!"

Seeing the necessity to help amputees in need, Craig Gavras co-founded the Limbs for Life Foundation in 1995.  The Foundation purchases prostheses for individuals who are unable to afford them and provides a nation-wide network of physical and occupational therapist for amputees in need.  The Foundation also operates a worldwide limb bank, which collects and distributes used prostheses for use in developing countries.

To date, the Limbs for Life Foundation has assisted more than 8,000 amputees in its eleven years of operation.  For the staff, the Foundation is not just a good cause, it hits close to home.  Co-founder and Executive Director Craig Gavras and board member Doug Brooks are both above-knee amputees.
