On Friday April 13th, we had the most distinct honor of performing at the IMPACT AFRICA BENEFIT CONCERT at the Westside Theater in downtown Hamilton. Impact Africa is an evening concert and silent art auction created to benefit persons living with HIV/AIDS in Africa. It is the second IMPACT AFRICA fundraiser - the first one held last year raised more than six thousand dollars (enough to provide support to over 600 AIDS orphans for a year). All money raised from the concert and silent art auction goes to the Mennonite Central Committee’s 'GENERATIONS AT RISK' program, which sends desperately needed medical supplies and money to HIV/AIDS projects in Africa.
It was quite an evening and we were fortunate to share the bill with the amazing Jacob Moon, a fantastic rock band HEWIT, and a very cool guitar duo Us2. Various presenters from the MCC, as well as others gave short informational and motivational presentations. In the lobby of the theater, there was a tasteful selection of art, all available in silent auction for purchase. We had an amazing time, met some fantastic people who are involved in a most desperate and neccesary cause.
