Today through Sunday, $2 from every Westword Music Showcase ticket sold will go to the Red Cross for High Park fire relief efforts. If you haven't bought your tickets for the June 23 showcase, you can do so now through Sunday and help a good cause. You can buy tickets here: Westword Music Showcase tickets.
According to news reports, Red Cross officials state that the number of supplies is greater than cash in-hand to move along relief efforts and that "funds can be directed where they're most needed."
The High Park fire has consumed more than 52,000 acres. (Get the latest High Park Fire news on Latest Word.)
