ABOUT CONCERT
live music concert for kids * arts & crafts * faceprinting * food * fun and more...
Catch a ride on the music train through a joy filled festival of songs for the season with singer/children’s entertainer Allison DeSalvo and Friends. Come sing and dance along for this year’s charity, “Gratitude 4 Grandparents” (G4G) in appreciation of the instrumental role they play in our lives especially as primary caregivers. Accompanied by guitarist Derek Chafin, percussionist John Patriarca and singer Christa Basilevsky, DeSalvo performs a lively, interactive mix of traditional and original tunes from folk to Americana celebrating family, autumn wonders, with animal fun, a pop-up turkey and more. She’ll be joined by special guests, Swarthmore's own virtuoso banjo player Stephen DiBonaventura and SRS children's artists - two young sister violinists and an aspiring child author reading with video her inspired story “Love Is Everywhere”. The event includes face-painting, craft time, food and refreshments and gets 'kids helping other kids in need' promoting gratitude in the spirit of ‘thanks & giving’!
All proceeds go to “Gratitude 4 Grandparents” (501c3), a local organization in Media, PA serving ‘grandfamilies’ in Delaware County and beyond. G4G is bringing hope and compassion to 'grandfamilies' through their outreach activities and advocacy, as well as gifts during the holidays.
