Thanks to the incredible generosity of Clay's fans, 5 tickets were donated to an informal support group from the local YMCA to see Clay perform at the Erie County Fair on August 19, 2004.

YOU AND YOUR VOLUNTEERS ALONG WITH CLAY ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!!!
Last night in Buffalo, I saw individuals in wheelchairs in the front rows. The interpreter was facing forward (next to Clay) allowing better access for those who are deaf and hard of hearing.
The people who I brought to the event just loved the concert. They enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm and the way Clay connected with the crowd. The highlight for T.C., who is developmentally disabled, was that some of the younger fans gave her Mardi Gras beads like they were wearing. While it may seem like an insignificant gesture, it allowed T.C. to feel like she was included with the other children at the concert.
The inroads you all are making are amazing. Many thanks for allowing me to be part of this opportunity. Your efforts are so positive.
