Event Testimonial

"The dedicated team of volunteers that comprise Band Together is exceptional in every way. They devoted themselves to understanding the mission of the Lucy Daniels Center and making it their own as they shared our story and sought support from the community. BT is a testament to the power a group of volunteers can have to inspire others to give and get involved, even during difficult economic times. In addition to presenting incredible concerts, BT builds community between sponsors, volunteers, and music lovers. They inspired our board, advisory board, staff, and parents to rally together around a common goal. The funds, community awareness for children’s mental health, and positive energy generated from this event have given the Center a new base of support that we can build on for years to come! We thank everyone involved with Band Together and look forward to paying it forward by volunteering in future years."

President's Letter


 

A message from our President and Co-Founder…

Thank you for your interest in Band Together NC, making the Triangle a better place to live, and for giving us a passion to champion our cause.

It’s hard to believe less than 10 years ago, Band Together was just a vision. But positive outcomes can result from tragic events, and that’s where our story begins. I know you remember where you were on September 11, 2001, but do you remember wanting to help in some way? You were not alone. Thankfully, at the time, there was a strong network of entrepreneurial friends who believed in a famous quote by Margaret Mead:

"A small group of people can change this world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

So, we formed Band Together under a mission to raise funds for select Triangle charities through events that showcased and supported musical talent. Music was and remains our gateway to unite in a large way, once a year and enjoy something many of us often take for granted — our community.

It’s been nine years since we had that vision, and we’ve matured into a fully recognized 501(c)(3) with no paid staff, yet with passionate volunteers and sponsors we have grown successfully in a sustainable manner. We are so proud of what we have done. We have donated over $1,000,000 to 11 charities with the help of an incredible giving Triangle community!

It may have taken a tragic event to jumpstart this amazing entity called “Band Together” and now we all have a better sense of what it means to be responsible change agents for our local community. And we do what we do in a very social and fun way, supporting the music scene along the way.

In 2010, we hit some high notes. We created Band Together After Work socials so we could stay in touch throughout the year. We added an Advisory Board of top notch people to give us counsel and help raise the BT bar even higher. And we donated our 1,000,000th dollar to local causes!

We hope you will join us for the exciting ride as we continue to positively impact the Triangle through the powerful vehicle of music.

From vision to reality,

Danny Rosin
