Youthful Heroes Making Differences

Youthful Heroes Making Differences-"Home for the Holla! Days 2" Dec 18,2010


Back by popular demand, we are so excited to present HOME FOR THE HOLLA!DAYS 2, the sequel to last year's smashing success in which you filled the theater with incredible energy and helped us raise nearly $7,000 for vocational training of young women at risk of trafficking in Vietnam and Cambodia. This year, our goal is to add another $10,000 toward the same organization, Aid for Children Without Parents.

This year's event will feature old faces and new faces, coming together once again with an entirely new holiday-themed set list. If you enjoyed watching Vudoo Soul and Sam Geunjin croon their ways into the ladies' hearts; Derek and Theresa of Magnetic North battling each other in a rap showdown; Taiyo Na's soulful tribute to immigrant mamas; and the unbelievable musicianship of the Homeword House Band---then this is the show for you! Even fresher than last year, this year's show will feature a horn section and the vocal stylings of soul singer Ruth Cho.

So bring your family, your friends, and EVERYONE you know. There’s no better way to celebrate the holidays than by rocking out to beautiful tunes and giving back to a community in dire need. Together we can make a huge difference.
