Music 4 Life Benefit Show Recap

The Alpha Chapter of Chi Sigma Alpha at the University of Washington, hosted its fourth annual Music 4 Life benefit show at the Museum of History and Industry's McEachern Auditorium on April 25, 2008. Over 200 people attended the event hosted by Chi Sigma Alpha's very own Latana Thaviseth and Jasmin Lafradez, along with David Fung. A highlight of the event included a performance by the ChiSig dance team, performing an eight minute long routine choreographed by Monique Perkins (Alpha Chapter, Zeta Class). Check out the dance on YouTube!




From donations from members of the local community and fundraising done by the sisters throughout the year, 100% of the proceeds were donated to the chapter's local and national philanthropies: the Make A Wish Foundation and the Experimental Education Unit at the University of Washington.

The Music 4 Life benefit show has been held yearly as the Alpha Chapter's main fundraiser for their local and national philanthropies. Months of organizing, seeking donations, and fundraising for the show make each year's efforts worthwhile. The sisters collectively seek support from their local community, advertising and holding talent auditions several weeks prior to the event. Olivia Sengsi (Alpha Chapter, Theta Class), who helped coordinate the event, states "It is a great opportunity for local artists to promote themselves as well as participate in a great cause." Artists, who volunteered their time for the show, included rappers, singers, the UW Lambda Phi Epsilon step team, and dancers.


The sisters of Chi Sigma Alpha at UW were thrilled with the overwhelming amount of enthusiasm and support at the event, which saw greater attendance and donations from the previous year's benefit show held on the UW campus. The fifth annual Music 4 Life benefit show will be held during late spring 2009. Contact chisigs@u.washington.edu if you are interested in donating to, performing at, or attending next year's fifth annual event.

Music for Life is not the only show that will benefit the show recap but also those who are willing to learn music education online.
