BRODHEAD - Steven Priske and Tanner Gibbs are getting ready to host a benefit concert for the organization "To Write Love on Her Arms" for their senior project. The event will take place at 6 p.m. today (Saturday, Dec. 5) at Brodhead High School. The cost is $5 and includes performances by Waking Grace, Icon for Hire and Loftland.
Steven and Tanner learned about the organization at a music festival a couple of years ago and have been supporters ever since. TWLOHA, a nonprofit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide, exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.
The movement began in 2006, as one friend caring for another. The founder, Jamie Tworkowski, started it when a friend, going through a difficult time, began the practice of cutting into her arms as she dealt with depression. The name of the organization speaks to his goal, to write love on her arms instead of hate.
