Music Hugs Benefit Concert coming to Long Beach on Sunday, October 14, 2018

Michelle Mangione
Hi there -

A couple months ago, my pal and fellow songwriter Kelly Fitzgerald called me and said she was heartbroken because she had heard about children who were detained and separated from their loved ones at the border. She wanted do do "something" so she asked if I would help her organize a benefit concert. We did tons of research to find a reputable charity and finally found K.I.N.D., an organization which provides free social & legal services for the children. Then we started asking for support from everyone we met in our Long Beach community. 
We were met with amazing responses from other musicians, local businesses and just downright good people who all decided to put aside their political differences and make it about what it should be about: helping children who have no choice or resources. 

Now we are reaching out to our friends and families to invite you to join us. 

This event is about kids and kids are welcome. There will even be a performance by the Sage Hill Singers, an incredible high school choir! The concert will also feature a variety of songwriters and musicians as well as all sorts of opportunities to win fabulous prizes! You can win everything from guitars, to Disneyland tickets and everything in between.
There will be a suggested donation of $20 at the door. 100% of the proceeds go to K.I.N.D.  

I do hope you can join us.

Yours truly,

Michelle
