An event for music-lovers and grassroots organizers: Attend our Autumn Afternoon benefit concert featuring essential musicians of the Northampton area. Hosted by Smithie-led nonprofit organization Educate Young Girls, the benefit concert profits will go directly towards building a residential building for teenage mothers who have been expelled from their homes. With a safe place to raise their children, these girls will be able to pursue their studies and vocational education giving them both confidence and independence. There will be raffle tickets available for certificates and coupons from local businesses and restaurants, and additional donations are encouraged and appreciated. Performers include Kimaya Diggs, Hazel Basil, A Glezele Tey, The Lonesome Brothers, and Pamela Means, alongside two Smith A Cappella groups: The Smith College Vibes the Smiffenpoofs. We hope that this afternoon brings to the Northampton community an afternoon to appreciate how Northampton's lively culture of local collaboration and advocacy ever encourages students to practice their activism-- in this case, allowing us to transform the lives of hundreds of young women and girls 5,500 miles away in rural Cameroon.
