ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´

1 in 9 people in the United States struggles with food insecurity, and ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ musicians are making a difference. Now in its twelfth season and operating in twelve U.S. cities, benefit concerts raise funds to provide more than 1.5 million meals for nearly 100 hunger-relief organizations.

By supporting ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s Student Government Association’s annual Music for Food benefit concert, you're directly benefitting our local partner . Every dollar raised through this concert will go to the Pantry, which was founded 40 years ago as a support network assisting Russian immigrants with jobs, food and clothing. Today, the Pantry serves a diverse population as a partner agency to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. When you make a gift, you're helping our neighbors access the food they need.

With a goal of raising $15,000 to help our community in this trying time, ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s Student Government Association invites you to join us in bringing the music of Chebotaryan, Still, Debussy, Ysaÿe, Piazzolla, Bozza and Brahms to Cleveland’s ears, and food to its table.
