Not only that every dollar of the ticket sales goes to Gerry’s charity project called “ The Mountain Hop project” to help Kids in the Philippines to go to school and get an education so they don’t have to pick up mountain trash for a living and support their family, these kids are between the age of 5 to young adult with no education, with this Mountain Hope Project we are hoping to sent at least 5 kids to school each year. We already have couple kids in school and saw the amazing progress they are making already for their future.
