circusSPARK will be hosting a fundraiser the evening of June 10th at White Collar Crime. AcroEntertainment will be one of the MANY performers at the event. There’ll be fire dancing on the patio, aerial silks, and lots of roving performances you won’t want to miss! See you there!

AcroEntertainment received a shout out on Triangle Arts and Entertainment, a news magazine devoted to visual and performing arts. Talking about the Band Together Michael Franti Concert, the article reports:

“Spirits were high throughout the event, with everyone seeming to understand that this show was about much more than just the music. Indoors, members of the AcroEntertainment group gave a fun and interactive performance before welcoming American Idol finalist, Anoop Desai.”

AcroEntertainment recently performed at the Michael Franti and Spearhead outdoor concert at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC.  The event was hosted by Band Together, a 100% volunteer driven non-profit that raises funds and awareness for select charities through events that showcase and support musical talent.  In addition to a pre-show performance and exclusive (acro) entertainment for VIP—Kaci, Katie and friends had the wonderful opportunity to perform on-stage, alongside the one and only: Michael Franti.

On May 22, The Old Ceremony, Anoop Desai, One EskimO, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Holy Ghost Tent Revival played in front of a loyal crowd of 2,500 fans.  Rain, did not dampen the spirits of music enthusiasts and community volunteers, who understood that this show was about much more than just the music. The headliner, Michael Franti, was extremely complimentary of Band Together and StepUP and took time to visit with volunteers from each program before the show.

Band Together raised over $300,000 for StepUp Ministries–a non-profit organization and interfaith community that partners with over 500 program participants each year in the shared goal of self-sufficiency (stable job, stable home, stable family).  Theirs goals are accomplished through two-life giving programs: The StepUP Jobs Program and the StepUP Life Skills Program.
