MFE to Participate in Lancaster County Community Foundation’s Sixth Annual “Extraordinary Give”!
On November 17th, LCCF is sponsoring a one-day, online giving event in which MFE will be one of the beneficiaries. On that day, be sure to visit Extragive.org, and choose MFE and donate. Every donation is eligible to win MFE extra prize money from a $500,000 pool that LCCF has committed to the event! This means that your donation could very quickly go from $100 to $1100, with an extra $1000 coming from the prize pool! You can also donate to the same organization several times that day, so give early and give often.
Once again, MFE will also be teaming up with several non-profits for a “giving” event at Tellus360. This arts and music space in the heart of Lancaster has been generous enough to host “The Great Giving Gig” for the fourth year in a row. If you were there last year you know that this is an event you don’t want to miss as it is the fonkiest, hottest party of the year. There will be live music, refreshments, live art, stage performers, a chance to earn a free pint, and an all out fun, “giving” atmosphere. The event will run from 4pm until 1:30am, so be sure to join us to help make this year’s EXTRAORDINARY GIVE even bigger and better than last year’s!
MFE is also teaming up with Benchmark Construction to promote giving on the 17th with a party at the Ware Center. This Extraordinary event will take place from 5-8pm. There will be food, beverages, AND a live performance from the MFE String Ensemble. For any questions about the event email MFE.
We can’t wait to see you out at these events. We thank you in advance for your support of Music For Everyone!

…And The Winner Is… “MFE Presents: The Showcase” Final Round Results:
Beginning in January 2017 MFE hosted a singer-songwriter showcase/contest on the third Wednesday of every month at Tellus360. Each month a singer songwriter was showcased. The four artists who generated the largest audience during their show had the opportunity to perform at the October showcase finale, which was also a benefit for MFE. The four artists who made it to the final round were Andy Metz, Bernard Sarkissian, Dan Zdilla, and Nicholas DiSanto. We had a great turnout for the event, with a listening room atmosphere. We would like to thank all of the supporters who came to enjoy live music over the course of the year, and MFE would like to congratulate Bernard Sarkissian for being this year’s winner.
