“It has been such a privilege to feature a small business in every city and surprise that business owner with a moment of giving,” Downs’ commented. “Our audience in every city went above and beyond in their generosity to show their support and partner with the small business owner to help them achieve their next dream. What an honor to stand on stage each night, beside the small business owner, and watch their face, their tears, their joy, as the audience gave them thousands of dollars. That is the most fun I’ve had on stage in a long time!”
Whittaker echoed those emotions, saying, “I always wondered what it would feel like to take the concept of a giving blitz that my Instagram community does online, and do it in person. Well, now I know that it feels amazing! Depositing back into every single community that the Here For You Tour stopped in was incredible. It just goes to show that every single one of us has a reflex of rescue inside of us and that has been so sweet!”
The tour was both Downs’ and Whittaker’s first co-headlining tour together, one in which they created a one-of-a-kind event that made twelve stops across the nation. During each show, in addition to gifting the small business owners, Downs and Whittaker shared their unique commentaries on today’s culture.
