The events of December 14th, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT sent a shock wave across the nation as we learned of a senseless tragedy that took the lives of 26 innocent victims, most of whom were children.  Our hearts and our thoughts have been with the families who continue to mourn, as many of us ask what we can do to help. On Thursday, January 17th, a very special presentation, sponsored by the Bridgewater Library’s Open Mic Night program, will aim to do just that as local performers will lend their voices to benefit those families with an evening of music.

Scheduled to perform are: Aniket Sanyal, Bob Fenster, TS Sundar, Sharleen Leahey, Larry Gaffney, Tony Parisi, Thomas Dolina III, Kyle Pucciarello and more.  We are very pleased to announce that two more artists have joined the bill: up-and-coming local rock band Your Gentlemen, and acclaimed folk artist Spook Handy.

Light refreshments are being provided by Starbucks and Generoso's Pizza.   There will be several ways to make a contribution to help benefit the victims’ families, with all proceeds from the concert benefiting the Newtown Memorial Fund, the Newtown Youth and Family Services, and the Sandy Hook School Support Fund sponsored by the United Way.  

For more information on how you can help or how to participate, please contact Kyle Pucciarello at (908) 526-4016 ext. 197 or kpucciar@sclibnj.org.
