Journey in Sacramento for charity walk

Legendary rock band Journey will headline the first-ever “Walk N’ Rock for Kids” benefit concert May 23 at Raley Field, part of a day-long effort to raise money for seven children-oriented charities.

The Hope Productions Foundation — created by IntelliQuote chief executive officer Gary Lardy and Hanson McClain partner Pat McClain — aims to increase awareness and raise money for seven nonprofit groups in the region. The groups are Boys and Girls Club of Greater Sacramento, CASA El Dorado, Keaton Raphael Memorial, Okizu, People Reaching Out, River Cats Foundation and WIND Youth Services.

A 5K walk, which will begin and end at the stadium in West Sacramento, starts at 8 a.m. May 23, with charities recruiting teams to raise funds. Journey will perform at 8 p.m. to close the day-long fundraiser.

The foundation is “kicking off its national effort in Sacramento with a high-profile event that supports several worthy local charities that, with a little extra help and resources, can take their efforts to the next level and achieve greater success,” Hope Productions CEO Debbie Gabelich said in a news release.

Journey, which recently released its latest CD, has two gold, three platinum and eight multiplatinum albums during its 31-year career.

Kids' charities to metal festivals ... it's going to be quite a summer ...

This is a very cool thing for them to do. Will you do the walk too, Sarah?

[Don]

Arnel should include his foundation in this also instead of having to go do his own mini tours.

I think Journey already paid a big price for Arnel's Foundation.

This is probably to recognize that Journey also has their own charities here in the states since they have always supported childrens charities.

I always thought all AP needed to do was get his bandmates to donate the proceeds from one concert to his foundation and the foundation would get a lot more than all his solo appearances combined.

I know exactly what you mean unfortunately.

Pretty sure you have to do it to get in the concert... that's what the walk's website sounds like.

Well like I said I think you have to do the walk itself to get into the show.

[madsplash]

I wonder if Arnel will be walking the night before at a different event and then not be able to walk up to his normal capabilities during this event?

Or I wonder if he'll walk with an accent?

Before the heart attacks and strokes begin....I'm just kidding. Just trying to lighten the mood.

Yeah, I would think it would be for the participants and volunteers only.

Hi guys, I live in Sacramento and I've heard this concert advertised twice on the radio this week. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, March 7th.

However, I won't be attending unless it includes Mr. Perry. So no need for ME to stand in line. I thought it was interesting that they were playing this one. But in all fairness, good for them for supporting children's charities.

Well, that really keeps it simple; you are a SP fan, not a Journey fan.

Put the shoe on the other foot for a second. Are new fans that only own Revelation and won't buy the older albums because Arnel isn't singing on them Journey fans? Why don't you go take a poll and get back to us.

GB, is your sarcasm meter working properly today? I only speak for me but I have a full range of Journey albums over the years.

I just recently decided to go and I basically forgot about the walk, but it does sound like a great idea. Just got some new shoes today.

I'll see what my concert buddy's plans are and hopefully we'll catch up with you there if not before. Getting in on Friday and staying at the Sacramento Hilton.
