Philly Home Girls Present & WXPN Welcomes ANDREW LIPKE & JOHN BYRNE in concert for Adaire!
On Thursday night, April 28th, Adaire student musicians joined professional musicians Andrew Lipke and the John Byrne Band to perform on the school's renovated auditorium stage. The concert, sponsored by the Philly Home Girls realty firm and emceed by WXPN anchor Helen Leicht, raised money for Adaire's music program. Organized as a team effort by Adaire's Home & School Association and Friends of Adaire, the concert brought a large crowd of Adaire parents and the Fishtown community to Adaire for a great night of music. Dozens of Philadelphia businesses, organizations, and individuals donated toward the silent auction and raffle. Two businesses whose principals live in the neighborhood, Expressway Grip Productions and We Do Photography, donated lighting and video services and photography. The concert was made possible by Friends of Adaire's successful fundraising effort, including earning a $12,000 matching grant from the Penn Treaty Special Services District, which funded the purchase of a new audio-visual system and new stage curtains for the Adaire auditorium.
