The loss of four Lynn University students and two professors in the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12 has touched people around the nation, especially those in the local Boca Raton community. Chris Carrabba, Dashboard Confessional lead singer and Boca Raton resident, felt such a strong connection to this tragedy that he has volunteered his time and talent to help the Lynn University community. Carrabba is hosting a special two-night, three-concert event on Friday, April 30, and Saturday, May 1, to benefit the Lynn University memorial scholarship fund in honor of the faculty members and students who died in an earthquake while providing service and care to the people of Haiti during the Journey of Hope course in January 2010. Held on the campus of Lynn University, Carrabba plans for the concerts to spotlight the importance of active voluntarism and the positive energy it can bring to the world around us. "The survivors and those that were lost are examples to us all," said Carrabba. "They put others before themselves. They inspire me." The concerts held on Lynn University's campus include: • $300 – Chris Carrabba "unplugged" benefit performance Friday, April 30, 6 p.m., in the Schmidt Studio of the Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center You'll be up close and personal at this exclusive VIP unplugged performance with Chris Carrabba in the intimate Schmidt Studio of the new Wold Performing Arts Center.
