Generosity At Its Best

We offer a warm heartfelt thank you to the Springfield Capital Area Band!

They took up a spontaneous donation and dropped it off to the Springfield office to help support friends and neighbors recovering after severe storms blew through Illinois Saturday, December 1, 2018.

Clarinetist Alisa Blumhorst shared the donation with Scott Clarke – American Red Cross State Emergency Management Liaison. During a free concert, band members asked for donations for American Red Cross Disaster Relief.

They raised $589.44 to help families recovering from the tornadoes. Alisa says they felt it was important not to round off the amount given to symbolize that every single penny counts.

And…it does. Thank you, friends!
