WHO WE ARE
It was important to us that our children get involved in giving back to their community, both locally and globally. KRFK events enable performing kids - even at their young age - to personally contribute in making a difference in the lives of kids in severe need. Learning that 1 in 10 students in NYC public school classrooms are homeless has made their understanding and commitment stronger.
What We Do
Throw amazing rock shows, and give the money to kids in need!
Why?
Because we wanted our kids to learn the importance of giving back to the community, both locally and globally.
How?
We enable teens & tweens, through their performing talents, to make a difference, and raise money to benefit kids in extreme need.
We believe the impact of forging worldwide bonds among the next generation to be profound, and necessary in the pursuit of a global citizenry that strives toward a common, peaceful future. We can think of no better way to forge those bonds than through music. “You don't even need to speak the same language: music is a language all its own," to quote one of our performers.
The shared experience of using that music to help others heightens the strength of those bonds, and reinforces the resolve in our young performers that they can make a difference. Because we seek out young musicIans of truly exceptional talent, who are often already committed to careers in music, we expect that more than a few future stars will have grown up in our community — and that the philanthropic instinct we help to nurture now will benefit the world later.
