Kids helping kids through the arts! This year's event will be June 1, 2013. This year, funds raised will benefit "WE CAN Pediatric Brain Tumor Network."
Three years ago, several young musicians formed "The Young Artists Alliance" - a group of kids led by Alex and Veronica Mansour who got together to perform a special benefit concert at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music.
Proceeds collected were donated to the American Red Cross for the Haitian Relief effort. The following year, proceeds went to the Make a Wish Foundation. Last year, proceeds went to the Pasadena Conservatory of Music's need-based music scholarship fund. This year, the organization is entirely student run as an official club at Chaminade High School! This year, proceeds will benefit WE CAN Pediatric Brain Tumor Network. * The video directly above was produced by KPCC Public Radio. This was the inaugural year for the Young Artists Alliance. Proceeds went to the American Red Cross for the Haiti Relief Effort.
Two years ago, the Young Artists Alliance concert benefited the Make a Wish Foundation.
