Lipscomb students raised $6,130 for inner-city Nashville kids Friday evening at Full Moon Fest, a student-led, 1950’s-themed benefit concert and dance party in the Student Activity Center.
Each spring semester for the past five years, the Full Moon planning committee chooses an organization to support. This year, the committee chose Youth Encouragement Services here in Nashville. The organization offers after school programs, tutoring and summer camps.
“I’m really excited to support YES because I think they’re doing a really great thing with the community,” student Allie Chambers said. Chambers performed “Redbone”by Childish Gambino during the event.
Senior Olivia Waldorf came to support her friend and roommate who was performing at the event.
“The music has been so great tonight. There’s hot dogs, soda, it’s just all around a good time in the 50’s,” Waldorf said.
Students Elizabeth Cluck and Joel Clinger headed the planning committee on behalf of their respective social clubs.
“It’s really awesome because both Theta Psi and Delta Omega got to do their service project there together, which was a cool way to inspire passion within the club to get excited and get behind the organization,” Cluck said.
