GRiZ Announces 12 Days of GRiZMAS
Detroit Charity Event Series In Support of Little Kids Rock, Raising Over $80,000 to Date || December 5th-16th in Downtown Detroit
GRiZ today announces fourth annual 12 Days of GRiZMAS in Detroit December 5th through 16th - a twelve-day series of events with a focus on charity and giving back to the city that raised him.
12 Days of GRiZMAS offers a series of fundraising activities leading up to the fan favorite GRiZMAS celebration, to be held over two nights at the Detroit Masonic Temple. The first GRiZMAS show on December 15th will mark the return of the live band, which was debuted on night one of GRiZ’s sold out two night run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in September.
Music saved his life, but Detroit built him. Now GRiZ is doing all he can to give back to his community by helping to develop a support network for creative kids in a city ripe for artistic renaissance. By turning the benefit of this cause towards fostering the spirit of Detroit, GRiZ continues to set the intention towards further development in his own backyard. Growing up learning music within the progressive container of Detroit’s music scene changed his life, so as a continuation of his roots, he is now working with a philanthropic cause aimed to help kids in the city flourish as he did. Little Kids Rock— which brings music education programs and instruments to underserved public schools nationwide—receives 100% of the proceeds from every charitable GRiZMAS event.
GRiZMAS has collectively raised over $80,000 for Little Kids Rock to date, and will be keeping that vision alive this year with multiple fan-involved activities throughout the 12 Day celebration including bowling, caroling, yoga, an industry panel, a GRiZMACON Bar Tour, and more. This year will also see the first ever GRiZMAS pop-up shop which will be the hub for all things GRiZMAS featuring a limited merch shop and much more with all proceeds benefitting Little Kids Rock.
It has been through international growth that GRiZ has risen as one of the new faces of Detroit’s monumental electronic scene, and it is with this responsibility that he turns back towards the community that bred him to give back in his own unique way.
