Our house concert series seeks selected Blood:Water advocates and donors to engage

their friends and neighbors in an intimate fundraising gathering centered around the story

of Blood:Water and a performance by a renowned artist partner.

Each house concert is customized according to the host, community, artist and

venue. We encourage hosts to create a special event that best suits their ideas, needs and

audience.
