Sing Out for Shelter— Virtual Once More!
Award-Winning A Cappella
Concert to Help DC’s Homeless
For this our 30th year, The Augmented 8 had hoped to be back to a live Sing Out for Shelter Concert (SOS) this year, but for everyone’s safety and comfort, we will be virtual again this year. With the help of our supporters, over this period SOS has raised over $300,000 for people experiencing homelessness in the Washington, D.C. area. We won’t let Covid-19 shut down this important opportunity for all of us to help our community.
This invitational concert will be broadcast starting March 26, 2022, and will feature a growing list of some of the best student a cappella groups from our region and across the country.
Your sponsorship will help make our goal of raising $30,000 for our beneficiaries a reality and we will feature your organization in the promotional materials and our video production.
With your help, we can ease the suffering of the neediest in our community. Thank you for your support.
