Memories in Music IN THE MIDLANDS CHARITY EVENT
Memories in Music C.I.C (Community Interest Company) is staging an event of music, memories, and memorabilia representing the history of music in the Midlands from 18 September to 17 October, 2010. Memories in Music is a non-profit company, and the proceeds of the event will benefit Macmillan Cancer Support and Task Brasil's Casa Jimmy, a home for the abandoned street children of Brazil.
The event will be held at St Pauls Gallery in Birmingham.
We are looking for both fans and musicians to contribute to the event. There are several ways you can help:
- Loan the exhibit your photographs and memorabilia. All items will be properly handled and displayed, kept secure, and insured for the event's duration. All items will be promptly returned when the exhibit finishes.
- Send us your memories of attending concerts, meeting Midlands musicians, or your experiences as a musician from the area. We will print the memories in a programme and may film some of them for our website.
- Volunteer your time to the exhibit. We need people to staff the event, and if you have any special skills you want to contribute, please contact us.
- Contribute financially to help us pay the costs of staging the exhibit.
- Sponsor the event. We welcome corporate sponsorship.
- Donate an item of memorabilia for a permanent music history archive. Anything donated to us will always benefit the public and charities, and will never be sold.
If you can help us raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Task Brasil, please contact us. We very much appreciate your help.
