Mission Statement
It is our duty, as responsible musicians, citizens, and human beings,
to ensure that no child in America goes to bed hungry or homeless.
We are resolved to use the power of music as a call to action; to shed light
on the paramount issue of child hunger and homelessness, unite all to collectively
act as one, and cultivate compassion and a plan of action. Together, we
can ensure our sons and daughters have the ability to pursue their dreams.
