Throughout 2009, the Blind Melon Forum was able to raise $500 to help cover some of Nel Hoon’s costs with the annual vigil in celebration of Shannon’s birthday! Donations came in from all over the world from regular vigil folks as well as people who had never even heard of it before and they came in all amounts (ranging from $5 to $150). How cool is that? Nel was very touched and asked to thank you all for your incredible kindness!

So now it’s time to start thinking about the 2010 vigil that will take place in 4 months. The Blind Melon forum staff has opened up the 2010 fund and is counting on your generosity once again. Every dollar helps!

The annual Vigil will take place on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th September in Dayton, IN on Shannon’s grave. September 26th is the exact Shannon’s birth day.

If you can be there, it’s a great opportunity for you to meet hundreds of melonheads and Shannon’s family. A show is scheduled on Sunday in Lafayette, IN at Riehle Bros. Further information available here.

To those of you that don’t know, Nel Hoon spends a lot of money on the vigil every year, trying to make it as comfortable and enjoyable for us as possible. Last year we thought if we all came together and donated a little bit, we could make the vigil cost free for Nel and we did. Let’s try to do that again this year by contributing to the Vigil fund!
