Tyrone Wells - A Benefit Concert for Linfield Alternative Spring Break
Singer-songwriter Tyrone Wells plays a stripped down, acoustic show featuring songs from his new album 'Remain' to benefit Linfield College Alternative Spring Break--pairing student volunteers with non-profits for a week of service and learning.

Opening talent includes Roy Jay and Tony Lucca.
Linfield's Alternative Spring Break program is a week-long immersion in which students perform meaningful service, learn about pressing social and environmental issues, and grow as engaged leaders and citizens. ASB students volunteer at the local, national and international levels in partnership with schools and community-based organizations.
Since 2004, ASB has engaged more than 115 students in service contributing more than 4300 hours to the community and creating meaningful change.
In March 2010, 30 Linfield students, faculty and staff comprising two teams--the Northwest Sustainability Challenge Team and the Habitat Collegiate Challenge Team--will spend their spring break in service focusing on sustainability and green building projects and affordable housing initiatives, respectively. Partner organizations hosting Linfield volunteers include:
- Tacoma Area Habitat for Humanity of Washington
- Westwind Stewardship Group and Tryon Life Community Farm of Oregon
In addition, the Northwest Sustainability Challenge Team will collaborate with Linfield College facilities services during the week to construct a bike shelter on campus that will serve as a community demonstration site for green roof and solar energy technologies and encourage alternative modes of transportation.
All proceeds from this evening's concert will benefit the Linfield College Alternative Spring Break program and provide scholarships to participating students with financial need.
