Dear Friends,

 

As we told you earlier this week, Matchbox Twenty will not be performing at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo after viewing  SHARK's video footage of last year's Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo and other rodeos.

 

A press release sent out today, April 10th, states:

SHARK is truly impressed and sincerely appreciative of Rob and Marisol's dedication for the animals.  They not only withdrew from CFD, but also provided a public statement as to why. 

 

Additional media coverage about this includes:

 

LA Times

Billboard

 

Please take a moment to thank Rob and Marisol Thomas at:

for their benevolence and courage.

 

Or, leave a positive message on the Sidewalk Angels Forum (or see what others are saying here):

Also, please go to the following link and add your supportive comments to the band.  There are a lot of negative comments from rodeo thugs.  Please let the band know that we know they are heros.  You will need to sign in, but all things considering, it is certainly worth it for the animals.
