Girls Who Rock Benefit Concert 2011



It's been a year since the last Girls Who Rock video we put together, but on June 10th, it was finally that time again for us to rock out with Cynthia Hellen and She's the First's, Tammy Tibbetts! It was a full line up that evening, with performances by Kimberly Nicole, Eddy, Nikki Jean, Nina Sky and JoJo! The event's music was provided by DJ Kiss and was emceed by Touré (Fuse). There was also stand up comedy performed by Heather Knight and Data the Robot. John Wanda, co-founder of Arlington Academy of Hope, also took to the stage to deliver a special message to all of the supporters that night. Check out the video of this memorable event.




The goal of the event was to fund at least $20,000 to sponsor girls’ education at the Arlington Academy of Hope, where primary school education is $360 a year, and then students continue secondary school education nearby for $1,000 a year. AAH’s vision is to transform villages in rural Uganda into vibrant, self-sustaining communities through quality education and healthcare.

As usual, we had a great time working with Girls Who Rock and She's the First and really look forward to next years concert!
