Team Heathen to Host an Event to Benefit The Milwaukee Hunger Task Force
All Proceeds from the “Dress Up For a Change” event will be donated to the nonprofit organization

Milwaukee—(December 5, 2009)— Team Heathen, an entertainment group, is hosting an event, Thursday, December 17, to benefit The Milwaukee Hunger Task Force. All proceeds from the “Dress Up For a Change” event will be donated to the nonprofit organization. The event is from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m., and will be located at The Wherehouse, 818 South Water Street. Guests are asked to donate two nonperishable food items at the door or give a $5 donation. All guests who donate food will receive a free gift, and those who donate over 10 nonperishable food items will receive complimentary table service. The dress code is strictly enforced and drink specials and food catered by Big Momma’s Soul Food will be available all night.

“With the holidays approaching, people should be reminded of those who are not as fortunate as them and help give back,” said Travis Chambers, CEO/Founder of Team Heathen. “This event is a means to do that and to help feed people who otherwise may not have food during this festive season. Those in attendance will simultaneously give back and have fun doing it.”

There will be live performances at the “Dress Up For a Change” event by rising R&B singers G Womack, Rodney Poe and Cincere. The event will be hosted by Homer Blow and the disk jockeys that evening will be DJ Kid Cut Up and Team Heathen’s very own DJ Heathen. “Dress Up For a Change” is sponsored in part by Pak's Jewelers, Blowradio.com, Flow Clothing and SP Design and Associates.

“Our food bank distributed a record breaking 9.5 million pounds of food to local charities to assure that the recently unemployed, seniors and children would not go without,” said Sherrie Tussler, executive director of Hunger Task Force. “We are happy that volunteers and donors supported our mission this past year and helped us meet this need. Now we call on them to renew their commitment as fall turns to winter and the holiday season unfolds.”

In the last 12 months, from August 2008 - August 2009, usage of food pantries in Milwaukee went up 54 percent according to the Hunger Task Force Web site.

Team Heathen
Team Heathen was conceived in 2009 as an entertainment group that believes in “changing Milwaukee’s nightlife one event at a time.” The CEO/Founder of Team Heathen is Travis Chambers, also known as a popular DJ who goes by the name DJ Heathen. Team Heathen is an entity committed to giving back to the community, and making important issues top-mind awareness to partygoers. The entertainment group believes in infusing social-conscious matters into local nightlife.  

Hunger Task Force
Locally founded, locally funded and locally run, for more than 30 years we have been feeding Milwaukee. We've been a voice for the hungry, promoting socially sound policies that could end hunger in our community. We were founded in 1974 by a group of concerned parents worried about children going to school hungry. Then, in 1977, we responded to community need by opening a food bank to distribute free food to local charities that feed the hungry.
