WE DID IT!!! Brett’s Bass Fund’s 2nd Annual Benefit Concert IS IN THE BOOKS AND WAS A SMASHING SUcce
THANKS to the incomparable musical artists, teachers, volunteers, board members, mentors, scholarship recipients, friends, family, donors, co-conspirators and the generous support the community we did something last night.
It was an all hands on deck team effort but the
2nd Annual Brett's Bass Fund concert was unforgettable.
The passion, generosity and love of all that donated their time and that came out in support. Just no words. This is what community looks like. This is what we can do.
There was highlight after highlight but we heard from so many that listening to our scholarship recipients play was powerful.
As one attendee put it:
"I greatly enjoyed seeing and hearing the recipient.
Brought tears to my eyes honestly."
So so many to thank and we will do.
In the meantime more pix to come but here's a few!
As well as some video so you can see/hear
the impact you are making!
