Young musicians unite for a fundraising event in Goodwood

A group of young people are organising a fundraising event to raise funds for community organisations in Elsies River.

Luke Matthews, a 15-year old learner from Goodwood College said they are organising a High School Rock Off  at Fairbairn College, in Goodwood

Matthews said the event is an extension of his passion for music.

“I've always been passionate about music and its power to bring people together.  I believed that our  school and community would benefit from a platform to showcase young talent.

“ I decided to take the initiative to organize a high school musical event. Despite facing numerous rejections and challenges, I remained determined to share the love of music with our community and motivate our children to use their talents for good.”

The music event, scheduled for 29 August,  will bring together singers, rappers, hip-hop dancers, poetry readers and bands.

“the event aims to unite our community and provide a positive outlet for young people to express themselves through music and performance. I'm excited to share this vision with our community and look forward to seeing the impact it will have on our young people.”

Matthews said they hope to raise enough funds to give to October’s Halfway House, a shelter in Elsies River and  Angelico’s ECD Centre.

“We're now seeking sponsors to support this worthy cause and help make this event a success.”

“If your organization is interested in partnering with us to empower the next generation of artists and community leaders, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your support would be invaluable in helping us bring this vision to life and make a lasting impact on our community,” Matthews said.
