CONCERT FUNDRAISER TO FIGHT BULLYING

Last week I heard about this really great star studded concert event for kids, tweens and teens in Anaheim on Sunday August 19th from 2pm to 5pm. I truly believe in this cause, helping to prevent bullying. Anyone 16+ is just $27 and kids under 16 are just $20.

The event, Kids Help Children, is a fun-filled fair, rockin’ concert, and empowering fundraising event, at the Hilton Anaheim (777 Convention Way, Anaheim) on Sunday August 19, 2012 from 2pm to 5pm to benefit PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center and Champions Against Bullying’s pivotal Prevention + Intervention = Solutions Programs.
