Last year’s We Are All Refugees benefit performance for Syrian refugees was a huge success. With over 800 attendees through the course of the night, we received thousands of donations that we were able to distribute to displaced persons. We were also fortunate to have six great bands and a DJ to keep us entertained as we celebrated the arrival of summer.
We’re looking to build upon last year’s accomplishments with a second edition of the donation-driven festivities. Thus, we’re looking for interested parties who’d want to perform, display artwork or help with donation processing and organization. The tentative date is late May / early June to coincide with the departure of many internationals looking to find an appropriate home for their clothes and household items.
Those interested can send an e-mail to events@yabangee.com. For bands and artists, we ask that you include a link to any relevant sample work.
We hope you’re as excited as we are!
Great initiative!
