Operation Swan Dive

Hello fellow rockers! This is Bex from the 'BOS Street Team. Bevin and I just returned from Operation Swan Dive in Pepperell, MA! This skydiving event was to benefit an amazing non-profit charity called "Lyrics for Life." "Lyrics for Life" brings musicians and celebrities together for a series of concerts and auctions to raise awareness for serious illnesses such as cancer. Sister Hazel's front man, Ken Block, started the organization in memorial of his younger brother and the organization has turned into a large scale fight against cancer. In order to help benefit "Lyrics for Life," our very own afternoon DJ, John Laurenti, went skydiving. While John and his fellow skydivers were jumping out of planes literally over our heads and landing in the field, we were giving away all sorts of 'BOS giveaways. After their jumps, people could enjoy live music and some delicious treats. All jumpers told us that they had an amazing experience and wished that they could skydive again. This was truly an amazing event which benefits an even more worthwhile cause. You can learn more about this organization at www.lyricsforlife.org.

On behalf of the rest of the Street Team, I would like to give a shout out to Bevin, one of our summer interns. Today was Bevin's last day and we went out in style, of course. Good luck with your last year of school Bevin! Thank you for all of your help this summer! One day we will jump out of planes too!

"It's raining people!!!!"

Hugs & Ohio, Bex and Bevs
