For the past few weeks Marty & I have been working hard to put
together a benefit concert here in Nashville to raise funds for
Freedom's Promise. The concert will feature artists that Edenbrooke Music represents. Each artist is donating their time and talent for the concert, which is such a huge blessing in itself!
If you have never heard of Freedom's Promise they are a
non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of human
trafficking both within our community and around the world. I highly
suggest you check out their website www.freedomspromise.org and
subscribe to their blog to find out more about what is really going on
with millions of women and young girls, not just around the world but
also in our communities.
As the idea of this benefit concert evolved, we realized two things:
1.)
We need sponsors to cover the financial costs of putting on such a huge
event so that every penny of ticket sales can go to Freedom's Promise.
(If you would like to volunteer to help us find sponsors please let me
know! Its' a great resume builder and also great on college apps.)
2.) Word has gotten out in other cities and we've been asked to
put together benefit concerts that would support both Freedom's Promise
and that city's local human trafficking organization. There are about
ten possible events at this point! This is wonderful and Marty is
especially overwhelmed with excitement! However, this does mean the
events will cost more because we obviously have to pay the artists and
their would be travel costs involved, so we need a team of volunteers in
each event city to help raise support.
This cause is
huge to Marty & I both and many others in our circle. Get informed.
Pray about it. See if there is some way you can help!
