THANK YOU! | A Community of Music 2025

What a weekend! We just want to extend the BIGGEST thank you to everyone who helped make A Community of Music 2025— and everything we do at North Hills Cares— such a beautiful success.

• To our incredible board members & NHC family: thank you for your vision, your hard work, and for organizing every detail that brought this event to life.

• To the volunteers: you ran both Friday night and Saturday festivities beautifully— we couldn’t have done this without you. Your gift of time and energy made the magic happen.

• To our generous sponsors and business donors: thank you for stepping up and believing in our mission. Your support keeps our efforts alive (& special shoutout to Clearview for being our presenting sponsor & The Block Northway for being A Community of Music’s home for the past 8 years).

• To all of our performers: thank you for sharing your talents, your passion, and your joy with the community.

• And to every single community member who attended, donated food, bought raffle tickets, or simply cheered us on: you are the heart of this.

We received TONS of food donations that will be feeding our neighbors in need— and every dollar from raffle proceeds and monetary contributions goes directly to supporting North Hills Cares’ mission: creating creative solutions for the community by the community.
