Side to Side Charities

Side to Side Charities for Miami Music Project at Virginia Key Grassroots Festival

Once again Side to Side Charities will be hosting a booth at the festival in order to raise funds to be donated to Miami Music Project which helps young people from under served communities develop a lifetime love of music in the classical tradition and gain the self discipline needed to become successful citizens.

Any donations of artist’s merchandise with or without autographs to be given away as prizes to the raffle winners would be greatly appreciated and go a long way towards the success of this effort and organization.

Miami Music Project uses music as an instrument for social transformation, empowering children to acquire values and achieve their full potential, positively affecting their society through the study and performance of music.
