Wow, look at all the sponsors Walla-Pa-Looza has this year!

It was a short year ago that the idea for Walla-Pa-Looza was born out of the need of one guy to do what he does best and throw a party to make a difference.

This Saturday, July 31, 2010 the second annual Walla-Pa-Looza Music Festival is happening at the Johnsburg Community Club in Johnsburg, Illinois.

This year the organization has had a big year – starting their blog, partnering with the Sage Cancer Center, getting their 501(c)(3) non-profit designation, and a slew of new sponsors that you can see in the image above. They have a great lineup of bands, including Cover Blondz, High Life, Aeth3r, and the premier Journey tribute band of the Midwest, Infinity.

They’ve also put together a High School Battle of the Bands, which makes us all feel young again, doesn’t it?

I’d love to see all of my friends there. Let’s face it, I don’t blog much anymore – so the fact that I am actually writing anything means this has to be a special event.

If you can’t show up at the event, you can always donate to Walla-Pa-Looza by going to their web site and clicking on the donate button.

I’m sure you will feel good knowing that you made a difference for some family that needs help.
