The Tour features several prominent artists and benefits the following groups:  the Human Rights Campaign; Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays; and the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

In honor of National Iced tea month (June–you sly minx, who knew?), Bolla will be submitting a signature blend of Iced Tea to the 2nd Annual contest being held in Dallas at The Plaza at Preston Center. Bolla’s Chef De Cuisine, Curtis Cooke, has concocted a special recipe of fresh blended black tea, Leatherwood Honey and  mint infused syrup. Bolla’s tea will compete with a plethora of blends from vendors across the city, while a panel of celebrity judges will issue the final decree of superiority. Visit The Plaza at Preston Center’s Website for more event information. All proceeds for the event benefit The North Texas Foodbank.
