The "Songs For Change" concert held Saturday night at Knox Presbyterian Church has raised $3,068 for Free The Children, and donations are still coming in.

Organized by local musician Brontae Hunter, 11, and her friends in the St. Anthony's School student council, the show saw a dozen area performers take to the stage and entertain a large, appreciative audience.

Steven Travale of Kincardine was MC, and the performers included the following:

Devony House of Tiverton
Mary Cassidy of Port Elgin
Ben Turcotte of Port Elgin, who had just won the talent contest at Pumpkinfest
Natalie Irwin of Lucknow
Marc Glipo of Kincardine
Alexandra Chapleau of Kincardine
The Cherub Choir of Pine River United Church
Serena Rutledge of Ripley
Amy Kieffer, religious education consultant with the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board
Liz Miltenburg of Lucknow
Brontae Hunter of Kincardine

The show ended with a video, "What About Now" by Daughtry.

THANK YOU

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Rev. Susan Samuel, Rick French, the elders and congregation of Knox Presbyterian Church, the performers and all who attended “Songs for Change”. I am truly grateful for all who came out, assisted, and donated. Together, we made a difference!
