Burning Do-Gooders is an LA-based collective of DJs, promoters, artists, performers, musicians and activists dedicated to putting the creative and constructive spirit of the Burning Man community to work in the so-called "real world." They are affiliated with Burners Without Borders, a group that brings together like-minded Burners to work for positive change in communities that need our help, hope, financial support and elbow grease.The first project of the Burning Do-Gooders is an event entitled “Good One” to benefit My Friend's Place, a day center for homeless youth in Hollywood that provides meals, job training, health and social services -- and classes in juggling and stilt-walking. The event took place on Sunday, July 30th at the Mor Bar (a burner based business) in Santa Monica and features DJs, live entertainment and a silent auction.
Future projects for Burning Do-Gooders may include other fundraiser events, art auctions, beach clean-ups -- you name it! In fact, if you have any ideas for future Do-Gooder activities, let them know. Especially if you can help us make it happen.
Today’s guests are DJ Poncho Andy, the founder of Burning Do-Gooders and Katie Bone, the Director of Special Events of My Friend’s Place.
