JAM To Give | Beat the Heat with The Best of the Beatles

8 Jul

End a hard day’s work listening to A Hard Night’s Day from 7-9pm and donate to a worthy cause.

Cedar Hill Uptown Village’s Summer series continues this Friday, July 8th with A Hard Night’s Day. Enjoy the musical tribute to the Beatles in the center of Cedar Hill’s liveliest weekend spot. The kids can splash around the water gardens as you travel back to a time when mop top haircuts showed your level of ‘swag’. A Hard Night’s Day is the best known Beatles cover band in the DFW area. As you know, the concert lasts from 7-9pm and it is requested that you donate a particular item each week for a charitable cause.

The Tri City Animal Shelter is the organization that will benefit from this week’s donations. Located right down the street from Uptown Village on Pleasant Run, The Tri City Animal Shelter provides cages and kennels for strays as well as adoptable dogs. The municipal animal shelter serves DeSoto, Cedar Hill and Duncanville so once a stray is found in one of those cities they can be brought here. The mission of the Tri-City Animal Shelter & Adoption Center is to provide exemplary care for the impounded and unwanted animals through redemption, adoption, and public education. It’s only been a couple of years that they’ve been in their new Pleasant Run location and have already made a significant impact on the community, not to mention surrounding cities as well.

So, how can you help?? Bring Dry dog good and newspaper to Friday’s concert. Newspaper is easy since many of us already get that and throw them out anyways. Just make it a point to bring those newspapers for a shelter that can use it! This event doesn’t get much better! Pack up the cooler and lawn chairs and join us on the Village Green this weekend as we give back and JAM to Give! Remember your donation items: dry dog food and newspaper.

JAM to Give | A Triple B Benefit Concert

1 Jul

Today marks the first JAM to Give of the month of July! Start out the Holiday weekend with your family by supporting a good cause. Cedar Hill Uptown Village‘s JAM to Give concert series has returned this summer with a lineup of great bands and local artists. This Friday is no different with the soul/funk group Buster Brown Band. Tonight’s concert will benefit Campfire Creek Therapeutic Riding Center. You can contribute by bringing children’s toys. It’s okay if they are gently used but try not to bring anything too worn out and dirty.

The mission of the Campfire Creek Therapeutic Riding Center is “to improve the quality of life for children and adults with physical, mental, emotional, behavior, social and spiritual needs by providing activities through the interaction with the equine family and the agricultural environment. The organization will educate others to work with horses in the treatment of individuals with these challenges.” Visit the Campfire Creek Therapeutic Riding Center website to learn more about this great organization.

The event goes from 7:00 to 9:00pm at the Village Green. With this heat your little ones may even enjoy running around the water garden. JAM to Give is here EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT (unless bad weather hits) to benefit a good cause and present you with the opportunity to sit back and relax some great music while the kids enjoy the outdoors. You can hear the music playing throughout the mall as you shop at any of Uptown Village’s local stores. Lawn chairs, blankets and coolers are welcome, but please leave the boo’s at home. You can’t miss the stage on the Village Green once you enter Uptown Village in Cedar Hill! This is a great way to unwind at the end of a week. It’s also something to keep the kids busy. It takes place close to sunset so you won’t have to worry about scorching temperatures the entire time. Don’t forget your toys (maybe some sunblock too) and we’ll see you then!!

Cedar Hill Uptown Village is located between 1382 & Pleasant Run Road by Hwy 67
