Things will be rocking at the third annual Rhythm for Life Concert to Fight AIDS, Friday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. in Old Chapel. Tickets for the show, sponsored by Gamma Sigma Sigma, are $5 in advance and $7 at the door.
All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Children Affected by HIV/AIDS (CHABHA), an organization that provides relief to the AIDS epidemic in Africa.
Performers include the Dutch Pipers, the Garnet Minstrels, the Gospel Choir and student bands White Punks on Hope, 3s' Company and Undercover Minority.
In addition to live music and refreshments, members of Gamma Sigma Sigma will be on hand to provide information about AIDS and CHABHA. Free condoms will be available courtesy of Planned Parenthood and Health Services. Both groups helped Gamma Sigma Sigma organize the event, along with the Social Enrichment Grant (SEG) committee and Seneca House.
“It was a great idea to put together a benefit concert at Union,” says Zach Fields '07, a singer/guitarist for White Punks on Hope, “and it's an honor to be able to play a show for such an important cause.”
