🎶 You’re Invited: Play It Forward – A Scholarship Fundraiser
Presented by the Columbus Blues Alliance
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, art, and community as we come together to support the next generation of musicians. Play It Forward is a higher-education music scholarship fundraiser dedicated to helping a talented young artist take the next step toward their dreams.
This special event will immediately follow Blues & Beyond (so about 6:30pm) on the Charlie’s Stage.
🎓 The Cause
All proceeds from the evening’s live auction will directly fund a college scholarship for a deserving high school senior pursuing a degree in a music-related field.
🖼️ What to Expect
A lively auction featuring original artwork by Teeny Tucker, donations from local businesses and exclusive Columbus Blues Alliance memorabilia.
