Concert for a Cause at dA July 8th




Join us for a night of great music, great art, and great causes. Free, but donations are encouraged. Proceeds will go to Uncommon Good, a local non-profit that provides support and empowerment to local working class families through youth mentoring and tutoring programs, affordable organic produce, and many other ways.

We're going to be hosting a drum circle as well, led by Jason, so you can jam along with the performances.

The Pomona art walk is happening 6-9 in the area. Downtown Pomona comes alive with independent art galleries, art and music shows, food and craft vendors, and more.

BACKGROUND

Robert Maule, a songwriter and music producer based in LA. believes in community, compassion, and artistic expression, and he hopes to raise much-needed funds and awareness for groups that support immigrants while bringing members of the community together. Robert organized a successful concert to raise money for Planned Parenthood in February, and are hoping to expand on that success.

Uncommon Good (uncommongood.org) is a fabulous non-profit that works out of a rad adobe building in Claremont, whose mission is to "Empower families through education, medicine, and the environment." They have a program that connects local doctors with low-income patients, they run an organic farm with affordable healthy produce for sale, and they provide mentoring and tutoring programs for local low-income students. I personally planned and taught a few SAT and ACT classes at their center to help local high school students prepare for college.

The mission of the dA Center for the Arts (dacenter.org), a diverse, multi-discipline, non-profit organization is to enhance the quality of life for the greater community by educating and providing opportunities to experience, appreciate and support the arts. Since the late 1970s, the dA has provided an array of exhibitions, studio art classes and workshops, the Art Link program, a concert, cinema, dance and poetry venue, a volunteer and internship program, and a gallery store featuring local artisans.
