TVH co-hosts Virtual Tour de Fork a Fundraising Event

Posted on Dec 16, 2020 in Nuts & Bolts

TVH in the Americas strives to make a positive impact in the community and has been a proud supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City Olathe Chapter since 2015. To help the club continue its mission of serving Olathe’s youth, TVH and the Olathe Chapter hosted the third annual culinary-themed fundraising event called Tour de Fork.

Due to COVID-19 and safety precautions, this event was held virtually. The event was attended by benefactors of the Club and supporting organizations within the community. Guests were given meal kits to cook at home and then a password to log in and watch the event online.

Tour de Fork generated much-needed funds for the club through silent auctions. Items for the silent auction were donated from area businesses. Guests bid on items ranging from gift cards to exotic trips. This year’s golden ticket item was a trip to the Dominican Republic. Overall, with combined ticket sales to the event and the proceeds from the silent auction more than $137,000 net was raised for the Olathe Chapter. With this money, the club can continue its mission to better the lives of Olathe’s youth.

The The Announce Tour and First Album in 24 Years, Share Song: Listen

By Jazz Monroe

The The are back with Ensoulment , their first album since 2000. The Matt Johnson–led band will hit the road, too, traversing North America in the autumn, between dates in Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Below, find the dates and listen to “ Cognitive Dissident ,” from the LP. The album arrives September 6 (via Cinéola/ EarMusic ).

Back in 2017, Johnson reformed the The to release the Johnny Marr –featuring “You Can’t Stop What’s Coming,” which was then their first new music in 15 years. A box set and tour followed that year, including new recordings of old songs, though Ensoulment is the band’s formal follow-up to NakedSelf . Johnson primarily worked with his old bandmates James Eller, DC Collard, Earl Harvin, and Barrie Cadogan, alongside co-producer and engineer Warne Livesey.
