The mission of the Audio Bloggers Live! Event is twofold; the first is to raise money to support the Phoenix House teen drug rehabilitation programs that use music and recording as part of a comprehensive approach to help teens battling drug and alcohol addiction, and the second is to create an event where audio friends and fans in the virtual world can gather together in the real world.

Is intended to be the first event of its kind to help friends and peers from the online world connect in person.”
