Young Rock Bands Organize for Charity

Peter Fogg is a couple merit badges away from being an Eagle Scout, the highest Boy Scout rank. And to further his progress, he decided to organize a benefit concert using local bands for the lineup. Peter’s own band, The Tides, will also perform at the show.

In all, there will be 5 bands performing. Shawn Dowd, Democrat and Chronicle

The concert will benefit Food Link and Water for Sudan . Peter hopes to collect $1000, and at least 400 packaged food items at the concert.

Peter’s story is another great example of how kids are making a difference in their communities and around the world. It took a lot of effort from a lot of young people to organize the event, and learning leadership skills is part of what it means to become an Eagle Scout.

Kudos to Peter Fogg and his band, The Tides, for their efforts and for making a difference.

Do you know an inspiring young person? We’d love to hear about him or her. It’s easy to toot a horn for your inspiring kid. Post a blog on this site, submit a story for inclusion in my book “Kids Who Inspire,” or email me at gordon@kidswhoinspire.com.
