WRIGHT

Join us for Band Together, our annual fundraising event dedicated to transforming young lives through music and mentorship. This exclusive evening will bring together our community of supporters to celebrate the impact of our work and raise critical funds to expand our programs.

This year, we are honoring two individuals who have played a key role in advancing our mission. As we reflect on the past year’s achievements, we invite you to stand with us in strengthening our commitment to young people—providing them with the mentorship, mental health support, and creative opportunities they deserve.

Guests will enjoy an unforgettable night featuring live performances, special honoree recognitions, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and more. This event is also an opportunity to become part of The Label, our premier donor program for those committed to sustaining our mission year-round.
