GIRLS ROCK SB! ORGANIZES BENEFIT CONCERT TO RAISE MONEY FOR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM AND SUMMER CAMP

Girls Rock SB empowers girls through music to boost self-esteem

Girls Rock SB! (GRSB) will hold its first Spring Benefit Performance on February 23, 2013 at the Marjorie Luke Theater starting at 7PM. The program, titled "Requisition," will showcase exciting collaborations of song and dance created to raise funding and awareness for Girls Rock SB! There will also be a special performance by rising star Meg Myers, a new talent under the management of Angelica Cob (former head of creative and marketing for Capital Records). There will be a silent auction of fabulous gifts, services, and one-of-a-kind experiences donated by generous sponsors.

Girls Rock SB! is a nonprofit organization that empowers young women through music and provides girls with skills that will guide them through life; the program aims to boost self-esteem through workshops, group activities, performances, and music lessons. GRSB provides young girls with an environment that fosters creativity, self-confidence, and teamwork.

Jen Baron, executive manager of Girls Rock SB!, believes that, "This benefit show will not only be an amazing performance to watch, but it will further showcase our goal to inspire young girls and show them that they have the power to be great musicians."

The funds raised from the benefit will go towards the Girls Rock Camp and the after school program. Girls Rock Camp is a one-week summer day camp that teaches girls ages 8-18 how to play instruments, design band t-shirts, and how to rock n' roll. Camp classes are taught by musicians who volunteer their time to help campers learn how play instruments. The dates for 2013 are June 10-July13th. Apply online at girlsrocksb.com. GRSB accepts payment plans and provides financial aid for low-income participants.

Girls Rock SB!'s after school program is designed to teach girls how to play various band instruments by application only. GRSB provides the musical instruments, as well as a gear loan program where instruments can be rented out to Rock Camp community members when they aren't being used at the summer camp.
