Summer Concert for Poverty Awareness

SUMMER CONCERT AT SILVER SPRING’S FOUNTAIN STAGE

A Wider Circle and Downtown Silver Spring join forces to bring awareness to poverty

Hundreds will come together on Saturday June 9 to propel the movement to end poverty in our community. A Wider Circle and Downtown Silver Spring have joined forces to host a FREE summer concert featuring the popular band, Close Enough.

The band will perform from 5:30 – 8:30 at the Fountain Stage on Ellsworth Drive in Silver Spring. Activities also include face painting for the children.

Nearby restaurants Gusto at 8512 Fenton Street and Potbelly Sandwich Shop at 917 Ellsworth Drive will be donating 25% of all proceeds when patrons mention A Wider Circle. Stop by Gusto from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Potbelly Sandwich Shop from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for proceeds to go to poverty awareness. Don’t miss out on your chance to help bring an end to poverty.

“The summer concert serves as a platform for members of our community to come together to support the MOVEMENT TO END POVERTY,” said Mark Bergel, founder and president of A Wider Circle. “Great food paired with great music and a great cause, makes for an exciting Saturday night. And, be sure to stop by our table for more information on how you can join us in eradicating poverty here in our community and across the region.”

The concert is just one part of a month-long, matching fund-raising campaign named, Widen the Circle. In addition to the Silver Spring concert, other events include dinner parties, restaurant nights, a comedy show and a Nationals baseball game.
