The Business of Giving | Teaming up to tap the energy of youth | Seattle Times Newspaper: "Ryan Hodgson is using music to open the door. His organization, Team Up for Nonprofits, is hosting its second event in downtown Seattle tonight to benefit Seattle Works. They're getting a boost from local speed skater J.R. Celski. After meeting him through a colleague, Hodgson heard that Celski wanted to do a musical event to give money to a nonprofit, and the two decided to join forces.

Each monthly Gigs4Good event supports a different nonprofit and combines entertainment with raising money and awareness. This time, Rotary is sponsoring the bands, which also helps local Rotary clubs connect to potential new members."
