With over 35 years of experience in the music industry -- developing and facilitating tour publicity campaigns for artists like Aerosmith, Beyonce, Celtic Woman, Lyle Lovett, Pink Floyd, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and music festival Gathering of the Vibes -- Renee Pfefer is expanding her professional services in support of activism and philanthropy with Volunteer Louder. The mission of the new organization is to mobilize music fans as a force for positive social change.
Following a 2019 service adventure trip to Thailand through GIVE, where Renee’s group worked in remote hill-tribe villages on organic farming, reforestation and English education projects, she was inspired to make a difference back in her own community.
“I came back from Thailand, and said, ‘I can do more in my everyday life,’’ says Pfefer, who started with little, but impactful, steps, like signing up to volunteer locally and composting at home.
Combining her professional and personal passions, Pfefer has now organized more than 87 successful events energizing music fans to volunteer together.
