1
00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:02,502
>>Everybody wanted 
to do something about

2
00:00:02,502 --> 00:00:06,039
helping the folks in Ukraine.

3
00:00:06,039 --> 00:00:07,540
Everybody did.

4
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:09,909
And so it was like they 
were looking for something

5
00:00:09,909 --> 00:00:12,412
and we provided the vehicle

6
00:00:12,412 --> 00:00:13,813
that they could 
show their support

7
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:15,548
and feel like they 
were helping a cause

8
00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:17,851
that they felt strongly about.

9
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:22,489
>>While we individually live 
in this large and global space,

10
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:24,557
I think it's so 
important that we realize

11
00:00:24,557 --> 00:00:27,060
that each of us really 
can make a difference

12
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:28,361
in someone else's life.

13
00:00:29,796 --> 00:00:32,232
>>Terri Allard here with 
Charlottesville Inside-Out

14
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:34,534
to tell you about the 
Batesville Community,

15
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:36,002
which is my community,

16
00:00:36,002 --> 00:00:39,005
and how it came together 
to help others in need.

17
00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:41,207
With a donated field as a venue,

18
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:42,409
10 musical acts,

19
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:44,310
and numerous 
neighbors and friends,

20
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:47,013
staged a concert 
and after expenses,

21
00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:51,684
raised $15,000 to support 
relief aid for Ukraine.

22
00:00:51,684 --> 00:00:55,288
There are many inspirational 
stories out there these days.

23
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:56,956
This is just one.

24
00:00:56,956 --> 00:00:58,391
Come on.

25
00:00:58,391 --> 00:01:01,895
>>Being able to have a 
conversation with a few of us,

26
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:03,096
pull together,

27
00:01:03,096 --> 00:01:04,798
reach out to the community,

28
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:05,899
a group come together,

29
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:07,000
share their talents,

30
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,334
share their abilities,

31
00:01:08,334 --> 00:01:11,304
share their time to 
be able to volunteer.

32
00:01:11,304 --> 00:01:12,572
It really is a testament

33
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,408
to the power of what we 
can do as individuals.

34
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:17,977
It doesn't matter how big or 
small of a community we're in.

35
00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:19,879
>>When Jason and I 
started to do this

36
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,615
we figured he would 
talk to the bands

37
00:01:22,615 --> 00:01:24,451
and get the bands lined up.

38
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:26,152
And then I just 
talked to people,

39
00:01:26,152 --> 00:01:28,421
local folks said, "Hey, 
would you like to help out?"

40
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:30,790
And everybody said, "Yeah, 
we'd love to help out."

41
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:33,626
It was just, you know, 
complete outpouring of support

42
00:01:33,626 --> 00:01:36,262
and "what can I do?" 
type of attitude.

43
00:01:36,262 --> 00:01:39,132
>>John Pollock, aka 
"Dad" came to me

44
00:01:39,132 --> 00:01:41,668
and said he wanted to do this.

45
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:43,436
Put it together in 
less than a month.

46
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:44,971
And I said, "You're crazy.

47
00:01:44,971 --> 00:01:47,674
It's never gonna happen, but 
okay, I'll put the word out."

48
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:49,676
Everything just came together.

49
00:01:49,676 --> 00:01:52,479
All the bands said 
they wanted to do it.

50
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:55,482
We found someone who was willing 
to donate the flatbed truck

51
00:01:55,482 --> 00:01:57,584
for the stage, which was huge.

52
00:01:57,584 --> 00:01:58,718
Even the weather was great.

53
00:01:58,718 --> 00:02:02,956
♪ You've got my soul ♪

54
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:07,961
♪ Every single 
piece of my heart ♪

55
00:02:08,728 --> 00:02:10,597
♪ Baby, you've got ♪

56
00:02:10,597 --> 00:02:11,965
>>The event in a good way,

57
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:14,501
ended up kind of being 
like a perfect storm,

58
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:18,071
in that everything coalesced and 
came together just perfectly.

59
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:19,572
Everybody was happy about it.

60
00:02:19,572 --> 00:02:23,610
We had the good locale 
here on the field

61
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,746
and also next door we had 
the Batesville Market.

62
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:29,482
>>We may not be able to 
sing into a microphone

63
00:02:29,482 --> 00:02:31,084
or play an instrument,

64
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:33,052
but we were able to 
support the event

65
00:02:33,052 --> 00:02:34,621
in the way that 
we best knew how,

66
00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:36,356
making sure people were fed,

67
00:02:36,356 --> 00:02:38,024
making sure they 
had plenty to drink,

68
00:02:38,024 --> 00:02:39,926
and making sure 
that they were able

69
00:02:39,926 --> 00:02:41,461
to purchase their tickets.

70
00:02:41,461 --> 00:02:45,632
And that was important for us 
to help support the experience

71
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:47,500
that so many 
talented individuals

72
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:49,502
brought to the field that day.

73
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:51,471
>>The benefit concert 
turned out to be

74
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:52,972
much more successful I think

75
00:02:52,972 --> 00:02:55,642
than anybody ever envisioned.

76
00:02:55,642 --> 00:02:57,143
And I figured, you know,

77
00:02:57,143 --> 00:03:01,281
at best we'd be taking 
in maybe $2,500 to $3000.

78
00:03:02,248 --> 00:03:03,683
And it's just, I mean you know,

79
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:07,654
we ended up taking in $16,000, 
which was astronomical.

80
00:03:07,654 --> 00:03:09,088
>>As far as the musicians go,

81
00:03:09,088 --> 00:03:13,693
we had between 25 and 30 
musicians total participating.

82
00:03:15,161 --> 00:03:19,666
80% I would say live 
in the Batesville area.

83
00:03:19,666 --> 00:03:23,269
And the crowd, yeah, I 
would say at any one time

84
00:03:23,269 --> 00:03:26,239
there was a good 200, 
250 people who came

85
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:28,308
and visited us that day.

86
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:29,475
During the show,

87
00:03:29,475 --> 00:03:32,312
everyone was looking 
around going,

88
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:35,014
"Wow, this is just so great 
that all these people came

89
00:03:35,014 --> 00:03:36,783
and we're so happy 
to be a part of it."

90
00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:39,886
And then afterwards, 
everyone said,

91
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:41,387
"When can we do it again?"

92
00:03:41,387 --> 00:03:43,356
>>Batesville is 
this wonderful spot

93
00:03:43,356 --> 00:03:45,558
that if people feel 
strongly about something

94
00:03:45,558 --> 00:03:47,393
or have somebody that's in need,

95
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:50,597
the community gets together 
and does something,

96
00:03:50,597 --> 00:03:52,298
and it's kind of a 
can-do community.

97
00:03:52,298 --> 00:03:54,267
And this was just 
another great example of,

98
00:03:54,267 --> 00:03:55,668
"Okay, we can do this.

99
00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:57,570
We're tiny, but we 
can raise some money

100
00:03:57,570 --> 00:03:59,172
for the folks in Ukraine."

101
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:05,111
(upbeat music)
