Bring Community Karaoke Back This Summer! 🎶
Last summer, our karaoke nights brought neighbors together with laughter, music, and unforgettable memories. We want to do it again — but we need your help!
Our goal is to raise $25,000 to cover equipment, permits, and safety measures for safe, fun community events. Your support will help us create a vibrant space where everyone can sing, connect, and share joy.
Why support us?
Because music heals, unites, and brings happiness. Your donation makes it possible.

What is a network?
Networks are an organized group of neighbors who are committed to working together to support one another. Together networks work to address quality of life issues and provide the structure through which police, city officials, and the neighbors meet and engage one another. Through these partnerships, neighborhood networks build trust and recognition to improve the quality of life throughout the community.
