Redwood Day School Rock Bands Perform Benefit Concert at Ashkenaz
Posted on March 5, 2007
Proceeds support RDS financial aid program and Music Rising, an instrument replacement program for musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina
Redwood Day School’s middle school rock bands will perform a benefit concert at Ashkenaz in Berkeley on Sunday March 11th at 6:30 pm. All proceeds will be donated to the RDS financial aid program and to Music Rising, an instrument replacement program for musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina. This is the second year in a row that Redwood Day School rock bands have hosted a benefit concert at Ashkenaz.
Last year the group raised over $1200, which the students donated to the RDS financial aid program. This program provides tuition assistance to 24% of its 333 students—50% more than independent schools nationwide. “Our strong financial aid program is a key component of what Redwood Day is as a community…an independent school in the heart of Oakland that places a high value on all kinds of diversity. We celebrate, learn from, and thrive on our differences—cultural, ethnic, gender, socio-economic and intellectual. That the rock bands expanded their fundraising efforts to include an organization outside RDS reflects a group of compassionate, thoughtful and generous students—qualities that we seek to sustain on a daily basis,” says Head of School Mike Riera.
