100% of proceeds will go to The Shropshire Music Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to develop youth leadership and capacity for peacemaking in global conflict zones through locally-run, youth-led music education programs. These programs provide local children opportunities for education, trauma relief, expression, and to reduce vulnerability to extremist group participation. Your contribution this evening will help Syrian and Yazidi refugees in Greece, former child soldiers in Uganda, genocide survivors in Kosovo, Catholic and Protestant youth in Northern Ireland, and Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Your involvement will also help kickstart an initiative to bring an after-school program to refugees living in Salt Lake City. www.teachingchildrenpeace.org
