Love Through Music, a nonprofit organization based at Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, hosted an inaugural fundraiser concert on Nov. 12 in San Marino.
The event attracted more than 100 supporters, including friends and family from all over the city, to support musicians of genres ranging from jazz to classical and LACHSA alumni from USC Thornton. The planning started in June. Although planning took long hours and dozens of emails, the reward was successful. With the attendees’ generosity and the musicians’ hard work, Love Through Music raised more than $2,000.
With every dollar raised, Love Through Music has pledged to channel it toward Direct Relief, a globally recognized organization dedicated to providing essential resources to underserved communities worldwide. This strategic collaboration will help Direct Relief fulfill its mission of relieving the suffering among the most vulnerable populations by supplying vital medical aid, supporting disaster response efforts, and offering ongoing support to disadvantaged regions.
Furthermore, Love Through Music’s pursuits extend beyond international aid, as a portion of the funds donated will be directly allocated to schools with limited resources for arts education. By targeting these educational institutions, Love Through Music aims to bridge the gap in arts funding, granting access to high-quality arts programs that foster creativity, personal growth, and academic achievement for countless deserving students.
As Love Through Music continues to make a lasting impact, it embodies the true spirit of philanthropy and inspires others seeking to enact positive change. Through initiatives like these, the arts community, altruism and collaboration combine synergistically to forge a brighter, more compassionate future.
