<--students packed the foyer at York HS during the concert Friday. Last Friday's concert in Elmhurst, IL at York Community High School was incredible! We were thrilled to work with York's VERY active Amnesty International Program to organize and execute Change You Can See, a concert benefiting Invisible Children. Invisible Children is a national organization that "aims to improve the quality of life for individuals living in conflict and post-conflict regions." The students in York's Amnesty program were particularly interested in supporting Invisible Children, and we were happy to aid their efforts.
About a hundred students at this suburban Chicago HS braved snow and blistering cold temperatures (hovering between 5-10 degrees!) to come watch Cavashawn perform in an indoor campus foyer at the school. Kudos to Stephanie Ann and the dozens of Amnesty International members for putting together such a successful concert. Proceeds were more than $1000 dollars!
<--stephanie ann with scott & jesse after the concertStephanie approached us in late October about the event and throughout November we were in close contact, brainstorming the best ways to make this concert a success. Despite between extremely busy with school and other extra-curricular activities, Stephanie put hours and hours of her time into seeing this concert through. She may have been a bit stressed at the beginning of the night, but by the time we loaded out, she seemed to be satisfied with her efforts. We were certainly impressed.
Stephanie and the dozens of other York students involved were especially organized and did a fantastic job of promoting and executing the concert. Amnesty moderator and York teacher Joan Davis, who has been involved with the organization for over 15 years, said this was one of the most successful fundraisers in their history! Great work guys!
