How
WE Make a Difference:
Our
group recently sponsored military and underprivileged children on a trip
to Carnegie Hall to play where they would otherwise never have this
opportunity of a lifetime. Together, the CGSA, CPOA, and other
dedicated organizations donated funds to make sure these children were
able to attend.. "Our Kids" joined with the North Park
Middle School Band who is also comprised of inner city children and
children from the Boys and Girls Club. Below is a photo of the
event. Our sponsored kids are at the far right back.
