Blown Away: WildTorch 2025
We were blown away by the fun, the fans and the funding that WildTorch '25: Love Songs for Lovely Village brought in to create safe housing for survivors!
Every vote for the artists became actual dollars that make a generational impact in the lives of women and their kids. Together, you raised $91,061.39 the night of WildTorch and that's not including the impact that is yet to come in the days ahead! Wow. This brings our Finding Home Phase 1 Campaign total to $2,022,510.39!
Just $507,489.61 remains of the $2.53M goal. Can we finish this out by year’s end? Let’s give it a try yall! Come on! Be a part of pushing across the finish line!
Congratulations to The Voice of WildTorch winner, Nicki Wilson, who secured the most votes to stand with survivors. And a huge thank you to the contestants who also brought in more support and additional funding for Lovely Village: Darius Ewing, Charissa Bush and Sthefanie Welch! All of you went above and beyond for this cause and created lasting change. Love really can build a bridge. Thanks to our band: Aaron & Amanda Konzelman, Jack Parker, JR Pershall, Brandon Rosas and Jeremy “the Bwack” Bush. And a huge thanks to our emcee, Derek Smith!
