Last Friday, Eastview High School hosted and all day sing-a-thon called "Voices of Hope" in its performing arts center. It started at 8am and had non-stop singing until midnight. The goal was to raise $25,000 for the Angel Foundation, an organization helping families battling cancer. This event had choirs, solos, duets, and many other musical styles. Each performer donated 10 dollars each to sing.
What was unique about this event was that it was all created and organized by Eastview's Women's Chorale. One of the students in the choir's mother is struggling with Pancreatic cancer, so the choir wanted to use the power of singing to make a difference. "When words fail, music speaks", was a phrase said by Eastview's Choir director Judy Sagen.
