Spirit of the Bear Launches Gofundme Page
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Spirit of the Bear, the rock band based in Columbus and Youngstown, has launched a gofundme.com page to raise money to replace gear stolen from its van.
The theft took place recently in Salt Lake City, where the band was performing as part of its first coast-to-coast tour. The musical equipment is valued at $13,000, and its replacement will not be covered by insurance, the band says.
The gear was stolen from the band’s van when it was parked. The band was able to borrow equipment from other bands to complete the tour.
The gofundme page was launched Wednesday and as of this morning had raised $11,756 toward its $13,000 goal.
