Maddy Sings for Haiti

Maddy Curtis shares songs and stories to benefit Haitian relief efforts 
 

 Sixteen-year-old Maddy Curtis, a junior at LVHS and a Bluemont resident will sing to raise funds for Haiti in its time of need.  Donations will be accepted for World Vision International's Haitian relief effort. A World Vision staffer who recently returned from Haiti will share her first-hand experiences with everyone during the performance. 

Maddy is the ninth of twelve children, four of whom have special needs. This one-time benefit event will feature Maddy Curtis singing the music of Cole Porter, Gershwin, Hammerstein, Hoagy Carmichael, and Sting. She'll perform songs made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, and Kristin Chenoweth. Maddy will also field questions from the audience and onstage host, Tom Sweitzer.

 Living in one of the richest counties in the nation makes it difficult to fathom what's happening 1,250 miles away in Haiti, the Western Hemisphere's poorest country, where most citizens live on $2.00 a day. How much more unimaginable the picture becomes when an earthquake leaves upwards of 150,000 dead and 600,000 homeless.  

"What can we do to help?" The answer is, "Whatever you can."  

Maddy can sing for Haiti. What can you do? Come join us at Franklin Park Performing Arts Center. For though we may not be personally affected by this natural disaster or Haiti's poverty and despair, we can come together for this Do What You CAN Concert to hear one of Loudoun's brightest talents sing her heart out for Haiti.
