When something terrible happens, you have a choice. You can move forward and pull together, or do nothing.  Friends of Jason Statts decided to do the former and are doing something to help Jason move on with his life. This Saturday, September 17, from 3-8PM at Savannah’s Grayson Stadium, the 7^th Annual STATTS FEST will help raise funds for Jason Statts, a SCAD graduate who was shot point blank in the neck and as a result is no longer able to work as he is now a quadriplegic with only partial use of his arms.

Event organizers say this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever, featuring live music, food trucks from Savannah Food Truck Festival, silent auction, and kids activities. The Savannah Bicycle Campaign will provide a bike valet. Advance tickets can be purchased online for $15 per person until September 15^th, or the day of the event for $20. Children 12 and under are admitted free and must be accompanied by an adult.

Bands that will be performing include: Joe Nelson and James Pittman, Damon and the Sh*tkickers, Bottles & Cans, Waits & Co., The Train Wrecks, and City Hotel. Attendees are welcome to bring chairs and blankets and enjoy live music on the infield. No coolers or dogs are allowed inside the ballpark.
