Randy Phillips, Shawn Craig, and Dan Dean of Phillips, Craig and Dean asked fans to donate charitable goods during the group's recent December shows. The goods were given away to the needy.
Phillips, Craig and Dean worked with local charities during the six-city tour. These charities asked concert attendees to donate items such as toys, clothes, money and food.
The charitable venture occurred in Kernersville, NC; Hamlet, NC; Perry Hall, MD; Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Carrollton, TX; and St. Louis, MO.
"Christmas is our absolute favorite time of the year," says Randy Phillips of Phillips, Craig and Dean. "We love the opportunity to sing about the birth of Christ and encourage others to celebrate by giving. As we've traveled through this tour, we've been blessed to witness the giving spirit among God's people. From coats to toys, it's been so amazing to see folks giving, just as God has given to us!"
