In an exciting partnership that promises to make waves in both the music and educational communities, Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom, River Beats, and The BoredomFighters Foundation have joined forces to raise funds to support BoredomFighters’ mission of bringing music production into Colorado schools. This initiative, supported by The Ticketing Co. and Sub.mission as fundraising ‘Champions,’ is set to elevate the nonprofit’s programs to new heights.
The Deep: A Series with a Purpose
At the heart of this collaboration is THE DEEP, a summer pool party series designed not just to entertain but to make a significant impact. With each ticket sold, $2 will be donated to BoredomFighters, starting with the upcoming Late Night Radio show. These events will run all summer, promising a unique and immersive experience while supporting a noble cause. The series encapsulates the fluidity of water, offering unpredictable and genre-defying musical journeys at various venues, including the rooftop pool at X Denver. This initiative aims to fund one month of BoredomFighters’ operations, amounting to $8,333, and likely exceed this goal given the strong community support.
About BoredomFighters: A Mission Rooted in Music
BoredomFighters was founded in 2017 by Tyler Manning and Blake Hondermann of Colorado-based MorFlo Records. They recognized the vital role music production could play in keeping the Denver music scene vibrant by engaging the younger generation. With artists like Mersiv, Daily Bread, and Dirtwire lending their support, BoredomFighters has successfully hosted 525 workshops across 190 schools, directly reaching over 9,000 youth.
Operating on small donations and event partnerships, BoredomFighters has supported seven chapters nationwide, including Denver, Fort Collins, Longmont, Crestone, Long Beach, Detroit, and Grand Rapids. Their efforts have resulted in over 450 payments to creators facilitating these impactful programs.
Empowering Young Talent
One of the most inspiring stories from BoredomFighters’ journey is that of Mesophonic, an 11-year-old dubstep prodigy. The foundation helped coordinate his onstage appearance with Shaquille O’Neal (DIESEL) at Denver’s Mission Ballroom, a viral moment that captured the world’s attention. This is a testament to BoredomFighters’ unwavering commitment to amplifying young creatives and providing unparalleled opportunities to showcase their talents. Such stories of success underscore the importance of our support and encouragement for these young talents.
The Future of Music Education
The funds raised through THE DEEP will significantly bolster BoredomFighters’ ability to bring music production tools to under-resourced communities across Colorado and beyond. By engaging with local schools and neighborhoods, BoredomFighters aims to cultivate a new generation of musicians and producers, ensuring the continued vitality of the music scene.
The partnership between Cervantes, River Beats, and The BoredomFighters Foundation is a powerful alliance dedicated to supporting music education. Through the innovative THE DEEP event series, this collaboration will provide unforgettable experiences and ensure that music production reaches under-resourced schools and communities. With the support of these events and the dedication of everyone involved, the future of Colorado music education will flourish.
