voices of hope 450 word

Rock on! That’s what the charity event Voices of Hope was doing from 8AM to 12AM on Friday, February 20, 2009 at the Eastview Theater. The charity program was arranged by the Eastview girl’s choir with hopes of raising 25,000 dollars towards cancer patients and their families. All proceeds from Voices of Hope will go to help support one family who has been devastated by cancer by possibly paying their rent, mortgage, grocery bills, for gas, and all payments that affect the care and treatment their family member who has been diagnosed with cancer.During the day Eastview students themselves packed the auditorium to support their singing classmates. Also parent took time out of their busy schedules to help support Voices of hope in their quest to raise 25,000 dollars. Even the Eastview faculty went on stage and performed a little section of Mama Mia with Dr.Peterson. And Mr.Tomlinson a Eastview math teacher went on stage to share his passionof singing for a great cause.He sang opera and as I watched him you could see how much he felt the music as his booming voice echoed throughout the auditorium. This is a moving expeirence for cancer patients but also a lasting memory for the students who were involved. And as Jessica M stated “ It felt great to participait in something greater then myself and sing for such a great cause. This is something I will remember for the rest of my life and I am proud that I got to be part of the first group that started this tradition at Eastview.” This tradition will be carried on for years to come at Eastview High School. Eastview is proud of what there students we able to put together for such a noble cause. To take time out of their busy schedules to help raise money for cancer patients and their families. Even faculty members showed their support of the cause by going on stage and performing to help raise money and keep the audience entertained throughout the day. The charity event even sold food that anyone could buy with all of the profits going tho the angle foundation. As we all realize how much cancer has affected everyones life. When I asked my physics class to raise there hand if they had a close friend or family member who had been killed by cancer. Every hand in the class room went up. Cancer is something that affects all of us wether we have it or not. That is why it is great to see a charity that is there for the patients and there families. Because until we find a cure, the families with cancer will need our support to help them get through their difficult times.
