This is a brief video that will play prior to the concert. Gives an overview of the prostitution problem in the area that has in recent months been the scene for two murders, a couple of rapes, an abduction, and a home in the area has been identified as the most likely place a teenager was murdered and dismembered.

No Boundaries, formed in 2006, just late last year began to focus on South Robinson Ave. In that time they have maintained weekly street outreach, weekly adopt-a-block activities, purchased and remodeled a home in the immediate area as a base for their outreach, held their first annual family friendly block party, and their first of many kids nights at the new S. Robinson HOPE House.
I've been in this area for almost 16 years and I've never seen a group that is so committed and so able to make things happen. No Boundaries is a group of missionaries based out of Edmond. 100% of any donated proceeds go directly to helping others. None of their staff receives any salary and over a dozen are considered full time.
