Perhaps one of the most successful fund raisers to be seen in a long time, junior Brian Tremper’s benefit concert at the south VFW made major leeway for the GFHS food pantry. On Jan. 7 2012, hundreds of dollars of food and toiletries were donated to aid Bison who are struggling to obtain everyday meals. As poverty strikes hard around this time of the year, the food pantry has noticed a dramatic decline in stocked products. Luckily, the show was a huge success.
“We raised about six hundred dollars and a thousand pounds of food. It was a huge success, and more than I could ever ask for,” said Tremper.
Not only granted with the opportunity to work with local musicians and see familiar faces, Tremper’s prominent displays of community service later rewarded him with the Eagle Scout badge.
“It was great to see so many talented, young musicians come out and support a great cause like that. I hope more concerts like this happen in the future, because it was a great time for everyone involved and really helped out the food pantry.”
