Chateau Diana owner and president, Corey Manning, is a drummer who has learned to use his music to process PTSD and grief since tragically losing his brother to suicide in 1999, and his family home in the Tubbs Fire of 2017. After being introduced to RDF by Styx drummer and Raven Drum supporter Todd Sucherman, Manning – and his business partner/sister, Dawn Manning – worked to create a special line of wines featuring artwork by Raven Drum Foundation co-founders Rick Allen and Lauren Monroe, and are based on three of Monroe’s heartfelt songs. The wines are currently available on Chateau Diana’s website https://shopchateaud.vintegrate.com/raven-drum and at their tasting room in the beautiful Dry Creek Valley of Healdsburg, CA. All wines are priced at $15.00 per bottle and a portion of all proceeds will be donated to Raven Drum.




Raven Drum invited a stellar group of world class drummers, Veterans, first responders and supporters to the beautiful Amazing Grace estate to experience the magic of a drum circle, led by founders Rick Allen and Lauren Monroe. The event was a celebration of the healing benefits of music and community.
The program was filmed and highlights were included in Musicians On Call’s Veterans Day virtual concert provided to VA hospitals across the country.

TRAILER
Thank you to all who donated tickets to veterans to attend free shows in 2022! We appreciate the support and look forward to continuing the program in 2023.
If you are a veteran or know a veteran who would love a night out with live music, and a meet and greet with Lauren and Rick, please contact info@ravendrumfoundation.
“I am very happy to thank Lauren Monroe and Rick Allen for their support of veterans and providing such a wonderful and meaningful evening. Of all my VETTIX events I have never felt so directly appreciated by the performers before. The aim of VETTIX is to bring veterans out into the community and help them connect with each other. Lauren and Rick made that happen. I am also very fortunate to learn about their 20+ years of veteran focused work with Raven Drum, that was new to me and I enjoyed your introductory film at the start. Thank you both and to everyone that made this evening possible.
I am always looking for the opportunity to give back. Should you or the organization need a point of contact or volunteer in the Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine region, please reach out to me.”

“Thank you for the tickets to attend the concert with the Lauren Monroe Band and Alex Jordan. Lauren’s music and message was not only beautiful, but also inspirational. In a small and positive way the concert left me a better person.
Getting to listen to Alex and the individual accompanying him was a real bonus. The venue was great and I would attend events there again.
Thanks again!”

“Thank you Raven Drum Foundation!! I was lucky enough to talk with Lauren after the show. I shared my story as a veteran and losing fellow brothers & sisters to suicide when they returned home from the Middle East. She recommended I contact RDF and share my heartache and she explained that they could help my mental emotions. Her band definitely gained a new fan! Thanks RDF and Lauren for a grand night out!!!”
