Hold You Up by Matt Hires is the first charitable single of The At Home Project – an ongoing partnership between nonprofit record label Rock the Cause Records and Ronald McDonald House of the Upper Midwest Charities. The At Home Project was conceived by Cities 97 (KTCZ 97.1 FM Twin Cities) afternoon personality Paul Fletcher, as a way to raise awareness and support for the work of Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Upper Midwest.

Background Story…

Paul Fletcher (KTCZ 97.1 FM) and his wife Spencer gave birth to their first child Elsie in October of 2012. A few days after Elsie came home Paul and Spencer knew that something was wrong with Elsie. She was brought into Children’s Hospital of Minnesota and diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s Disease, a rare disorder with the large intestine that creates challenges with the bodies ability to pass waste.

Over the course of several months Elise underwent numerous surgeries. Paul and Spencer facing exhaustion and fear found a place of rest, community and normal routines at Ronald McDonald House of the Upper Midwest. Elsie is going on her second birthday and has made a full recovery!

Paul was inspired to share the story of Ronald McDonald House and the families who’s lives have been touched by their work. So he enlisted the help of John Stanoch, President of Ronald McDonald House of the Upper Midwest and Scott Herold, CEO of Rock the Cause Records. A plan called the The At Home Project was formed – an ongoing series of singles performed by some of today’s most exciting artists, released through Rock the Cause Records and The Orchard, in an effort to raise money and support for Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Upper Midwest.

Matt Hires who broke at radio with the massive hit, "Restless Heart", was the first to answer Paul Fletcher’s request for music to drive The At Home Project. Paul Fletcher and Rock the Cause are currently seeking other artists to join The At Home Project.

Available worldwide to download October 21st, 2014. Proceeds from the single "Hold You Up" benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Upper Midwest via Rock the Cause Records.
