The Dave Matthews Band donated $7,000 this week to the Piedmont Court Appointed Special Advocates, an organization dedicated to training community volunteers to serve as special advocates for abused and endangered children in the Charlottesville/Albemarle juvenile court, The Daily Progress reported yesterday.
