John Wanda, founder of Arlington Academy of Hope in Uganda, took the stage to talk about girls' education.
Did GIRLS WHO ROCK actually happen?! It feels like a dream! At Gramercy Theatre, JoJo surprised us with the world premiere of her new title track, “Jumping Trains”; Nikki Jean, Eddy, and KimberlyNichole left an unforgettable first impression on the audience; Nina Sky got people dancing with their signature hits “Move Ya Body” and “Beautiful People”; Heather Knight showed us how a robot can rock out, too; DJ Kiss’ beats and Touré’s words kept the evening rockin’ and rolling. Their music made a difference!
More than $12,000 was raised – double last year’s concert — but don’t forget there’s still an online campaign to factor in: girlswhorock.causevox.com. We aim to raise $5,000 from GIRLS WHO ROCK online to add into a grand total – can you help?
$5,000 is the tuition for five secondary school students who are counting on us! There are 18 days remaining to reach our goal. Check out the photos & tweets below — even if you weren’t at Gramercy Theatre on Friday night, you can be part of this movement for girls’ education.
