Band Together NC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit composed of business and community leaders and volunteers from across the Triangle. Since its inception in 2001, the organization has helped raise more than $1 million for philanthropic organizations through one mission: using music to raise funds and awareness for local charities.
The charity recipient for the 2011 concert is Alliance Medical Ministry, a faith-led nonprofit working to provide affordable health care to the working uninsured in Wake County.
“Our goal this year is to raise $500,000 for this organization making a difference in the lives of people in our community,” said Danny Rosin, president and co-founder of Band Together NC. “After nearly tripling the amount raised from 2009 to 2010, we can’t wait to see what the 2011 event has in store. Our goal is to touch the community in a different way each year, using the powerful medium of music.”
Last year’s Band Together NC concert attracted more than 2,500 music lovers and raised more than $358,000 for StepUP Ministry.
Tickets for the May 7 concert are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. VIP tickets are $150 and include exclusive access to catered food and beverage, VIP seating, and a silent auction.
