Bands Battle Extreme Poverty
Share
At Northside Prep in Chicago, IL, a group of ONE students are making A LOT of noise.
“With a little help from our French teacher and ONE advisor Mrs. Sarah Phillips, we Mustangs recently held an annual “Battle of the Bands” fundraiser to raise awareness in the Chicago Public School community about extreme global poverty. The event featured local bands competing for the title of the best band as well as presentations about ONE, and the three different organizations to which proceeds went: KIVA, SaveDarfur.org and Invisible Children. The event raised a whopping total of $1,535.25. On top of that, over 300 books were donated to Tyler Hilton’s Books for Kids organization. It was a great way to raise awareness about important causes and have a blast doing it!”
-Zlatana Alibegovic (Director of Communication for ONE Northside Prep)
