RAINN Ticket Auctions Reminder

Just a quick reminder that, as we posted about earlier, a pair of VIP tickets for each show on the North American Night of Hunters tour are being auctioned off to benefit RAINN. Donated by Tori, these tickets are within a few rows of the stage in the center orchestra and are an ideal place to take in the show from.

Auctions for the last three shows on the tour — Los Angeles, Austin and Dallas — are still running.

Check them out on eBay!

Night of Hunters VIP Ticket Auctions To Benefit RAINN

The Night of Hunters Tour’s North American leg kicks off this Tuesday in Atlanta and, as announced in a RAINN newsletter, Tori has donated a pair of VIP tickets that are being auctioned via eBay with proceeds from the auctions going to benefit RAINN. The first round of auction ended today but the second round — for the Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Vancouver and Seattle shows — are all still running and the other shows will be added as time goes on.

If you’re looking for great seats to shows on this tour and also to help make a difference to an organization that is doing good work and enjoys Tori supports, this would be a good way to achieve both goals.

Thanks to David for the tip about this!

#10forRAINN A Smashing Success!

Earlier this week, pro wrestler and RAINN advocate Mick Foley was featured on ABC World News Tonight. The piece mentions Tori as being his inspiration to start volunteering for RAINN but the meat of the feature is all about Mick, the work he is doing for RAINN and the smashing success of his #10forRAINN campaign which has raised over $120,000 for the non-profit!

Congratulations to Mick and RAINN and thanks to everyone who donated and supported them over the past two months!

Mick Foley's #10forRAINN Fundraiser

Tori has twittered her support for Mick Foley’s #10forRAINN campaign to raise funds for RAINN. To encourage people to give, Mick’s lined up a number of incentives, included autographed photographs, a phone call or even a visit from Mick himself. The campaign has a goal of raising $10,000 for RAINN by the end of April.

Check out this clip of Mick talking about the campaign below and, if you can help out, please do!

Foley's New Book Raises Money For RAINN

Wrestler and Toriphile Mick Foley appeared on the Daily Show this week and talks about his life and work with the ever-awesome Jon Stewart. This interview is full of Tori tidbits — including the fact that Mick is donating half the proceeds from his new book, Countdown to Lockdown, to RAINN. He also shares that he used to listen to one special Tori song before wrestling matches, and talks about his other philanthropic interests. Thanks to the many of you who sent this in:

Celebrate RAINN With(out) Tori In Washington

Update: We’ve received clarification from Tori’s management that she will not be in attendance at this event. Tori is sponsoring it but will not be there. Still, it’s a worthy cause to support so attend if you can and donate if you can’t!

RAINN is celebrating the progress they’ve made fighting sexual assault and supporting victims of sexual assault with a fund-raising event in Washington DC on November 18th. Actress KaDee Strickland and pro wrestler Mick Foley will be the special guests in attendance. If you would like to join them, purchase tickets, or just make a donation to support the organization, at RAINN’s website.

Thanks to Alex F. and @ToriFan247 for pointing this in our direction!
