BATTLE OF THE BANDS ON SATURDAY TO RAISE MONEY FOR AFYA--HAITI EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

On Saturday, June 19th there will be a BATTLE OF THE BANDS Fundraiser for AFYA. The fundraiser will begin at 11 a.m. and will be held at Hartsdale's Desanti Plaza during the farmer's market. All proceeds from the event will go to AFYA, an organization that donates medical supplies to Haitian victims.

The event will feature seven bands:

11:00- 11:15 Big Sister
11:25-11:40 Dropsite
11:50-12:05 Raging Impetus
12:15-12:30 Lights in the Attic
12:40-12:55 The Rochambros
1:05-1:20 The Big Stick Policy
1:30-1:45 Sounds of Space

Atendees will be invited to purchase a ballot, in which they will be able to vote for their favorite band. Ballots cost $5 when purchased in advance, and $10 on the day of the event. The bands will compete for prizes sponsored by Sam Ash Music. The first prize band will receive a $100 certificate, the second will receive a $50 certificate, and each other band will receive a $25 certificate. All participants in the BATTLE OF THE BANDS will be honored at an upcoming meeting of the Greenburgh Town Board at which they will receive certificates of appreciation.
Moriah Trenk, a Junior at Scarsdale High School, is organizing the event.
