This is Paul’s Band of Friends of a mission to help prevent this all to common story.
Their performance is set to be more than just our headlining act. It’s a celebration of Paul’s life, a rallying cry against the stigma of substance-use disorder and help our mission to providing alternatives to drug use. So, as you enjoy your ice cream, remember, each scoop is served with a side of good vibes and a rallying-cry to make a difference! So come on down, enjoy some ice cream, groove to the beats of Grateful Dead tunes, and be a part of a mission that’s all about positivity, awareness, and education!
