The above picture is a t-shirt designed for SerenAIDe, which is a charity concert that my high school choir puts on every spring. SerenAIDe was originally organized years ago in memory of a previous choir teacher’s husband who was diagnosed with ALS, and in the following years we have been able to raise money for local families who have been affected by an ALS diagnosis. I was able to really get involved starting in my junior year after joining choir council by heading a concert committee, the same year we decided to branch out and donate to Women for Women International, an organization that supports women wartime survivors. In my senior year we planned to donate to Live for the Moment, a leukemia and lymphoma charity. As a part of both the choir council and the Tri-M Music Honor Society board, I had the added responsibility of communicating information to members of the honor society along with leading a concert committee. There was a setback of going online, but we were still able to pull off a livestream concert and raise thousands of dollars. SerenAIDe was inspiring in that it was a way to see a relatively small group coming together to support the community, and I am grateful for the opportunities that I had to contribute to it.
