Take The Opportunity To Enjoy Some Music While Simultaneously Getting Your Philanthropy On
In our calendar this week, Kenya Beverly suggests we head over to the World Cafe tonight:
“Sophie Jane Darr Summer Concert Series
Four-year-old Sophie Jane Darr was an adorably bubbly, wide-eyed sprite, the apple of her family’s eye, when brain cancer stole her from their loving clutches five years ago. But she came from good stock, obviously: After their indescribably painful journey, in 2010, the toddler’s grieving kin started the Sophie Jane Darr Children’s Foundation in her honor, dedicated to financially assisting families with ailing children and supporting charities that help with their care. Tonight’s inaugural benefit concert features back-to-back performances from Philly favorites Desoto Jones, the Hyde, Toy Soldiers and N.Y.C. roots rockers Leroy Justice, ensuring a great time will be had by all. But if you need more inspiration, check out the family testimonies—and good heavens, that group shot of the gorgeous kids in a Honduran orphanage being supported by SJDCF’s efforts—on their web site that underscore how vital and beautiful the work they’re doing is. Go. And party with a purpose.”
6pm. $20. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. 215.222.1400. sophiejanedarrchildrensfoundation.org
