Dare 2 Dream, a benefit concert and silent auction that will be featuring The Roots, will be at The House Of Blues Chicago on December 4, 2010 with proceeds going to The People's Music School to help bring funding and awareness to music education within the community."We are honored and excited to be performing at Dare 2 Dream," said The Roots band members, "It's causes like this that inspire the fabric of our work. We couldn't be happier to help raise awareness & funding to support education in Chicago."
The People's Music School was started 34 years ago by Dr. Rita Simo with only $625, a donated piano and a dream to make the world a better place. Today the non-profit school serves over 500 students in its Chicago Uptown facility and in various outreach initiatives within the Chicago Public School System.
"Bettering music education in Chicago is a cause that we're incredibly passionate about," said Jeff Sodikoff, President of Platform One Entertainment and Dare 2 Dream. " We're excited that The Roots have jumped on board to support this powerful vehicle for transforming lives."
