Dear Friends:

We are thrilled to announce that Jack Johnson has selected Local Matters to be one of the beneficiaries of charitable contributions from his summer tour and to showcase our work during his July 21st concert at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.
 
The Johnson Ohana Charitable foundation will be matching any donation made to Local Matters between now and October 15.  Donate now to double your impact!
 
And most importantly for you - he has offered us concert tickets, which we are giving away to our supporters!
 
We will be giving away two pairs of tickets to newsletter subscribers and two pairs to "Friends of Local Matters."
 
Here's how it works:
The tickets for our newsletter subscribers (that's you) will be given away through drawings on July 6th and July 7th.
 
The remaining tickets for new and renewing supporters of our 1,000 Friends of Local Matters program will be given away through drawings on July 8th and 9th.  If you want to better your odds of winning a pair of tickets, while also supporting our work to build healthy communities through the lens of food, and doubling the impact of your donation, renew your support or become one of the 1,000 Friends of Local Matters now!
 
Our winners will be announced via Facebook and notified by email.  Winners will have 24 hours to claim their tickets.
 
Thank you for supporting Local Matters and good luck!

Warmly,

Michael Jones
Executive Director
