JMax Productions is the agency that puts on concerts in Reno and Sacramento. I amd taking a couple of the foster kids that I work with to a concert this weekend and sent the manager of JMax this email:
I know this is a last minute request, but I work for Maple Star a Therapeutic Foster Care Agency and am a "Psychosocial Rehabilitation Worker" in one of the foster homes. My job is to teach life skills to the teenagers in this home. They've been "dying" to go to a concert, one of them had never been and the other has only been to one concert. So one of their tasks has been to figure out all the logistics involved in locating a show they want to attend and the best way to purchase tickets. They've done this and have purchased their tickets for the Sno Core Show at the New Oasis in Reno (through Recycled Records). They have activity funds available to them through Maple Star that they are utilizing to pay for their tickets. However, as their chaperon, I have to pay for my ticket, so my question is, since I am giong as a chapron, if there is anyway you can put my name on the guest list or send me a pass to get into the show.
I am an avaid rock fan and have been to many Jmax productions in the past and will be attending the Rise Against, Rancid show in July with my own son. But the bands on the Sno Core show are not my "cup of tea" and am only attending to give these foster kids the experience of attending a concert. If there is anyway that you could help me out on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi Reply:
I will take care of you - I appreciate what you're doing and the support you've given us. If you have any problems, please ask for Ben.
Congrats, both on the guest list spot and more on what you're doing for the kids. As you said, doesn't hurt to ask, the worst they could have said was no.
