This holiday season, the fans of hometown all-stars Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Pearl Jam, and Slog are raising money for YouthCare’s Orion Center, with a goal of $100,000 to keep our city's homeless youth safe and sound, seven days a week for the next year. On any given night, from 700 to 1,000 young people have no safe place to sleep in Seattle. Whose fans will do the most to help?! We challenged Seahawks fans to start giving, and look—they're not just loud, they're getting in the game!
