Making a Measurable Difference
Along with the show, we will fund an impact campaign designed to make a real difference in the communities we visit and for the people we meet.
There are a variety of ways to lean into for impact campaigns, from cultural awareness, to homelessness, to diversity, to underserved voices, to music education, to mental health, and any number of social issues.
Our experiences in each location will inform our impact campaign. Playing for Change will stick around to help in a tangible, measurable way, making a difference everywhere we play.
