WORLD FEST BENEFIT – HOSTED BY THREE LOCAL NONPROFITS WITH WORLDWIDE CAUSES

Pittsburgh, PA – March 28, 2010 – Anzar Exchange, Cry America and Confere Inservitus are teaming up to host one great fundraiser on April 11, 2010 at Shadow Lounge in East Liberty, from 6pm to 10pm featuring performances by:

Steel City Bhangra

Open Circle

Ibeji Drum Ensemble

Latin American Cultural Union

Salsa Ritmo Dance

DJ Pandemic Pete Spynda and

Bollywood DJ Adambhai

Moroccan cuisine will also be served. The cover charge of the entire event is $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

The objective of the benefit is to celebrate the notion that groups need to work together past differences in religious background, ethnicity, culture and race in order to address some of the major problems that are affecting the global community. In order to promote this objective we are highlighting performances and cultures from around the globe, particularly in the areas that our groups are most concerned with.

The proceeds will go to benefit Confere Inservitus, a startup nonprofit that is fighting human trafficking in Latin America and Anzar Exchange, a startup nonprofit that is planting trees to fight desertification in Morocco. Cry America will be engaging in outreach and recruiting for volunteers.

Each participating group is made up of University of Pittsburgh current and past undergraduate and graduate students.
