No matter who you are, 2013 is shaping up to be a big year. It'll be the year Jennifer Lawrence hosts Saturday Night Live for the first time, the year Kate and Will have their royal baby and the year we all celebrate surviving the Mayan apocalypse.
For To Write Love On Her Arms (better known as TWLOHA), the theme of 2013 can probably be summed up in three words: heavy and light.
TWLOHA has been called the organization's favorite night of the year. Naturally, TWLOHA wanted to bring this evening of "songs, conversation and hope" to as many people as possible. Thanks to the $ 1 million dollars the organization won from the American Giving Awards, TWLOHA is bringing HEAVY AND LIGHT to 17 cities near you this year.
Founder Jamie Tworkowski will join Switchfoot's Jon Foreman and spoken word post Anis Mojgani at every stop on the tour with special guests like Christina Perri meeting up with them along the way.
All ages are welcome at the show, so find your tickets now and bring as many people as you can. Keeping with the idea of hope and recovery, every person who attends the tour will leave with a list of local resources of where to find help in the community.
I can't think of a better way to kick off 2013 than with a tour like this. Here's to great music, amazing causes and the year of HEAVY AND LIGHT.
