SCI Gouda Causes and The Footprints Foundation are designed to make the world a better place in which to live, dance and sing.  Created to reflect the gestalt of our fans, as well as that of us in the band’s employ, our simple goal is to leave a positive legacy, or “Footprint” in the communities we visit.  A few years ago, as the SCI community began to independently clean up after themselves at venue after venue, we realized the opportunity before us to channel this energy in a positive way.  Over the last few years Gouda Causes have taken a variety of forms.  From fundraising auctions at shows, to service projects and the now ubiquitous Conscious Alliance sponsored food drives, we’re striving to grow organically in symbiosis with you.  Take a moment to check out our current projects and get involved if you can.  If SCI is visiting your community and you have an idea for a Gouda Cause please let us know with an email to jc@stringcheeseincident.com.

Summer 2007 Food Drives
The String Cheese Incident and Conscious Alliance will be hosting another round of food drives this summer.  All donations will go to benefit local America’s Second Harvest Food Banks. 

During this past Winter Carnival in Colorado, record amounts of food were donated.  Please help us continue that trend!

At the main entrance of every show along The String Cheese Incident’s Summer Tour, 10 non-perishable can be donated in exchange for a poster redemption voucher.  Redeem each voucher for one limited-edition event poster at the Conscious Alliance “Art that Feeds” Gallery located inside each venue.  Since all stops on this summer’s tour are multiple night runs, most venues will offer a series of connecting panel posters; the general rule is 10 items for each night will get you the full series for the run.  

The Beacon Theatre: 4-Panel Stanley Mouse Poster series (10 items per panel)
The Greek Theatre: 2-Panel Richard Biffle Poster series (10 items per panel)
Hornings Hideout:  3-D Drowning Creek Hologram Poster (20 items for hologram)
Big Summer Classic: 2-Panel Robert Marx Poster series (10 items per panel)
Red Rocks:  3-D Scramble Campbell Hologram Poster (20 items for hologram)
