Encore for Education Charity Concert Raises Over $147K for Music Programs
Encore for Education, a commercial real estate industry charity concert, raised $147,265 to benefit Music Matters, a program created by Buchanan Children’s Charities and the Orange County Community Foundation to restart Orange County public schools music programs.
This was the sixth annual Encore for Education since Buchanan Children’s Charities was founded in 2007, and was attended by more than 1,000 people. The concert was held on October 11, 2018, at the new House of Blues® in Anaheim, CA, and featured a live performance by number one single Billboardartist Fitz and the Tantrums. The event was underwritten by generous donations from more than 50 sponsors in the commercial real estate industry, including producing sponsors Buchanan Street Partners and Idea Hall.
“This year’s Encore for Education was another incredible success,” said Robert Brunswick, CEO of Buchanan Street Partners. “With the money raised this year for Music Matters, we are able to restart two public school district’s music programs, allowing thousands of students to benefit from music education.”
Funds raised at Encore for Education 2018 will go towards purchasing instruments impacting more than 2,600 students at the Anaheim and Santa Ana School Districts.
“This grant touches more than the students from this year,” said Steve Venz, Coordinator of Visual and Performing Arts at the Orange County Department of Education. “Future students who will participle in music education programs will be impacted for many years to come.”
