"Rock for a Cause" Benefit Concert

SUPPORT! Jessica Zall spearheads this annual fundraiser at Pianos in the LES, NYC. It benefits Asha for Education, "a secular organization dedicated to change in India by focusing on basic education in the belief that it is the critical requisite for socio-economic change."

More from Jessica:
"Please join me as I partner with Network of Single Professionals (NESP) this year to bring you four fabulous bands rocking all night long for a great cause. As always, all proceeds raised from this night will directly benefit the cause: the funding of education in impoverished areas and needy schools in India. This means that $ for $ raised on March 28th (proceeds from ticket sales and raffle items) will go directly to school projects which Asha for Education has committed to fund in 2009.
For just a mere $15/person you can feast your ears on these following four wonders:
8:00pm - Come Together (Beatles & Rolling Stones cover tunes)
9:30pm - Dana Edelman / www.danaedelman.com (Americana folk rock)
10:30pm - Aderbat / www.aderbat.com (ethereal, intimate & smokey indie music)
11:30pm - Eighty East / www.eightyeast.com (a mix of Hindi/Urdu poetry put to melodic tones)
Pianos is located in the heart of the historic Lower East Side on Ludlow & Stanton. DOORS OPEN AT 7:30pm.
We hope to see you all there ... this plans to be another memorable evening!!!
Peace, love & happiness ~
Jessica & NESP"

Asha NYC Fundraiser

Well, it's too bad I didn't see this a couple of weeks ago: Jessica Zall helped to coordinate a fundraiser for Asha in NYC on February 23rd.
See their newsletter for photos and info about the organization. Is that you, Jessica, on the bottom right?

On my Google-quest, I came across another of our classmates, Jessica Zall. Looks like Jessica has become a devoted marathon runner...7 already?!? Wow, that's terrific!!

Here is a profile Jessica filled out about herself in Feb '04. Check out the arm muscles! Again, I am impressed.

And here she is raising money to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Go Jessica!! Let's all support her and this great organisation!
