>>Everybody wanted
to do something about

00:02.502 --> 00:06.039 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
helping the folks in Ukraine.

00:06.039 --> 00:07.540 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Everybody did.

00:07.540 --> 00:09.909 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And so it was like they
were looking for something

00:09.909 --> 00:12.412 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and we provided the vehicle

00:12.412 --> 00:13.813 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that they could
show their support

00:13.813 --> 00:15.548 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and feel like they
were helping a cause

00:15.548 --> 00:17.851 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that they felt strongly about.

00:17.851 --> 00:22.489 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
>>While we individually live
in this large and global space,

00:22.489 --> 00:24.557 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think it's so
important that we realize

00:24.557 --> 00:27.060 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
that each of us really
can make a difference

00:27.060 --> 00:28.361 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
in someone else's life.

00:29.796 --> 00:32.232 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
>>Terri Allard here with
Charlottesville Inside-Out

00:32.232 --> 00:34.534 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to tell you about the
Batesville Community,

00:34.534 --> 00:36.002 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
which is my community,

00:36.002 --> 00:39.005 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and how it came together
to help others in need.

00:39.005 --> 00:41.207 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
With a donated field as a venue,

00:41.207 --> 00:42.409 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
10 musical acts,

00:42.409 --> 00:44.310 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and numerous
neighbors and friends,

00:44.310 --> 00:47.013 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
staged a concert
and after expenses,

00:47.013 --> 00:51.684 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
raised $15,000 to support
relief aid for Ukraine.

00:51.684 --> 00:55.288 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There are many inspirational
stories out there these days.

00:55.288 --> 00:56.956 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
This is just one.

00:56.956 --> 00:58.391 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Come on.

00:58.391 --> 01:01.895 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
>>Being able to have a
conversation with a few of us,

01:01.895 --> 01:03.096 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
pull together,

01:03.096 --> 01:04.798 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
reach out to the community,

01:04.798 --> 01:05.899 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
a group come together,

01:05.899 --> 01:07.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
share their talents,

01:07.000 --> 01:08.334 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
share their abilities,

01:08.334 --> 01:11.304 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
share their time to
be able to volunteer.

01:11.304 --> 01:12.572 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
It really is a testament

01:12.572 --> 01:15.408 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to the power of what we
can do as individuals.

01:15.408 --> 01:17.977 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It doesn't matter how big or
small of a community we're in.

01:17.977 --> 01:19.879 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>When Jason and I
started to do this

01:19.879 --> 01:22.615 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
we figured he would
talk to the bands

01:22.615 --> 01:24.451 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and get the bands lined up.

01:24.451 --> 01:26.152 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And then I just
talked to people,

01:26.152 --> 01:28.421 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
local folks said, "Hey,
would you like to help out?"

01:28.421 --> 01:30.790 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And everybody said, "Yeah,
we'd love to help out."

01:30.790 --> 01:33.626 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It was just, you know,
complete outpouring of support

01:33.626 --> 01:36.262 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and "what can I do?"
type of attitude.

01:36.262 --> 01:39.132 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
>>John Pollock, aka
"Dad" came to me

01:39.132 --> 01:41.668 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and said he wanted to do this.

01:41.668 --> 01:43.436 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Put it together in
less than a month.

01:43.436 --> 01:44.971 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And I said, "You're crazy.

01:44.971 --> 01:47.674 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's never gonna happen, but
okay, I'll put the word out."

01:47.674 --> 01:49.676 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Everything just came together.

01:49.676 --> 01:52.479 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
All the bands said
they wanted to do it.

01:52.479 --> 01:55.482 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We found someone who was willing
to donate the flatbed truck

01:55.482 --> 01:57.584 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
for the stage, which was huge.

01:57.584 --> 01:58.718 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Even the weather was great.

01:58.718 --> 02:02.956 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
♪ You've got my soul ♪

02:02.956 --> 02:07.961 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
♪ Every single
piece of my heart ♪

02:08.728 --> 02:10.597 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
♪ Baby, you've got ♪

02:10.597 --> 02:11.965 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
>>The event in a good way,

02:11.965 --> 02:14.501 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
ended up kind of being
like a perfect storm,

02:14.501 --> 02:18.071 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in that everything coalesced and
came together just perfectly.

02:18.071 --> 02:19.572 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Everybody was happy about it.

02:19.572 --> 02:23.610 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We had the good locale
here on the field

02:23.610 --> 02:26.746 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and also next door we had
the Batesville Market.

02:26.746 --> 02:29.482 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>We may not be able to
sing into a microphone

02:29.482 --> 02:31.084 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
or play an instrument,

02:31.084 --> 02:33.052 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but we were able to
support the event

02:33.052 --> 02:34.621 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in the way that
we best knew how,

02:34.621 --> 02:36.356 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
making sure people were fed,

02:36.356 --> 02:38.024 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
making sure they
had plenty to drink,

02:38.024 --> 02:39.926 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and making sure
that they were able

02:39.926 --> 02:41.461 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to purchase their tickets.

02:41.461 --> 02:45.632 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And that was important for us
to help support the experience

02:45.632 --> 02:47.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that so many
talented individuals

02:47.500 --> 02:49.502 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
brought to the field that day.

02:49.502 --> 02:51.471 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
>>The benefit concert
turned out to be

02:51.471 --> 02:52.972 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
much more successful I think

02:52.972 --> 02:55.642 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
than anybody ever envisioned.

02:55.642 --> 02:57.143 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And I figured, you know,

02:57.143 --> 03:01.281 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
at best we'd be taking
in maybe $2,500 to $3000.

03:02.248 --> 03:03.683 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And it's just, I mean you know,

03:03.683 --> 03:07.654 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
we ended up taking in $16,000,
which was astronomical.

03:07.654 --> 03:09.088 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
>>As far as the musicians go,

03:09.088 --> 03:13.693 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
we had between 25 and 30
musicians total participating.

03:15.161 --> 03:19.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
80% I would say live
in the Batesville area.

03:19.666 --> 03:23.269 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And the crowd, yeah, I
would say at any one time

03:23.269 --> 03:26.239 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
there was a good 200,
250 people who came

03:26.239 --> 03:28.308 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
and visited us that day.

03:28.308 --> 03:29.475 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
During the show,

03:29.475 --> 03:32.312 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
everyone was looking
around going,

03:32.312 --> 03:35.014 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
"Wow, this is just so great
that all these people came

03:35.014 --> 03:36.783 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and we're so happy
to be a part of it."

03:36.783 --> 03:39.886 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And then afterwards,
everyone said,

03:39.886 --> 03:41.387 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
"When can we do it again?"

03:41.387 --> 03:43.356 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>Batesville is
this wonderful spot

03:43.356 --> 03:45.558 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that if people feel
strongly about something

03:45.558 --> 03:47.393 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
or have somebody that's in need,

03:47.393 --> 03:50.597 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the community gets together
and does something,

03:50.597 --> 03:52.298 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and it's kind of a
can-do community.

03:52.298 --> 03:54.267 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And this was just
another great example of,

03:54.267 --> 03:55.668 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
"Okay, we can do this.

03:55.668 --> 03:57.570 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We're tiny, but we
can raise some money

03:57.570 --> 03:59.172 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
for the folks in Ukraine."

04:02.542 --> 04:05.111 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(upbeat music)
