THE HERD
The Herd is a growing family of people who enjoy the music and atmosphere
surrounding Donna the Buffalo. And they are active...In 2002, The Herd
launched its own charitable fundraising organization, Side to Side Charities.
To date, Side to Side benefits at Donna the Buffalo concerts have raised
tens of thousands of dollars around the country for women's shelters,
food banks, and various other organizations in need of support...and
The Herd is indeed growing. In January of 2003, over 850 fans joined
the band for a weeklong cruise of the Carbbean, making it one of the
most successful endeavors of its kind! Donna the Buffalo is happy and
honored to have such a lovely group of people around.

What is Herd Charity?
"Basically, we are a bunch of people who love to dance to Donna the Buffalo,
and want to share the good energy we feel at the shows, so we raise money
for local organizations that serve people in need wherever the band takes
us."
