<--scott and chris from cavashawn rock out at hazelwood west HS in septemberThe Just Because Initiative is 2 for 2! Last month we worked with the Hazelwood West HS National Honors Society chapter to put together a concert at the school benefiting To Write Love On Her Arms, a national organization dedicated to helping "people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide."
Hazelwood West is located in St. Charles, MO, a suburban area north of St. Louis, and we could not have asked for a better group of motivated and passionate students to be involved in making this a successful endeavor!
<--marisella and cavashawn post showSenior student and NHS member Marisella Barrera was perhaps the most involved in seeing the concert through, and she did a fantastic job of promoting, organizing, and improvising in order to make sure people showed up and the show went down as planned. To Write Love On Her Arms is an organization deeply important to Marisella, and we were happy to work with her to support the cause. About 80 Hazelwood students attended this concert in the school's auditorium, and it was a rockin' good time. Great job Marisella!
We're still waiting on final numbers, but this concert was definitely financially successful in raising money for To Write Love On Her Arms. We kept the costs down and instead relied on the passion and ingenuity of these great teens. Thank you Hazelwood West. We had a blast!
