Roland Roberts Band’s 3rd Annual Christmas Jam!
Contributed by Matthew Wallace
Friday, December 6th will mark the 3rd Annual Christmas Jam hosted by the Roland Roberts Band. In years past this event was held at The Fishhook Bar in Palmer, Alaska to great success. Each year raising over 3K in donations supporting the local Mat-Su Special Santa program. This year will be bigger and better than ever. We’ve procured the Palmer Community Center Train Depot and now have the ability to sell three times the amount of tickets in hope that we will be able to donate that much more to the program. The Fishhook Bar and their top-notch staff will continue to partner with us serving up refreshments and libations. We have also added two of Alaska’s hottest bands to the bill for your listening pleasure! Wiley Post and Black Barrel and the Bad Men are great friends of ours and are kind enough to donate their time and talents to this beautiful event.
The Mat-Su Special Santa program has been operating in the Valley since 1997, bringing joy and the magic of Christmas to local children and families in need. They have provided over 50,000 Mat-Su children from newborns to age 18 with Christmas gifts as well as bringing the community together with volunteer opportunities in the workshop. They accept new unwrapped toys, room decor items, hygiene kits for teens, water bottles and blankets. Donations can be brought to the Christmas Jam or dropped at their workshop located at 403 S Alaska Street in Palmer.
Tickets are available for $25 each through our Eventbrite page, found by searching The Roland Roberts Band’s Christmas Jam! Once again, every penny raised goes to helping families in need in the Valley, and your donations are greatly appreciated. We will also continue the tradition of having a raffle with fantastic donations from some of your favorite local businesses. Get your tickets early as this event is sure to sell out and it’s a tradition you will be proud to take part in.
Thank You from the bottom of our hearts,
Roland Roberts Band
