Evergreen Washelli Veterans Memorial Cemetery
On Saturday April 5th, 2014, volunteers from the Seattle University Army ROTC will be placing 2,000 roses from the “Ten Grands” concert at gravesites at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery at Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park. The roses are a gift from The Snowman Foundation and “Ten Grands” Seattle. They will first be used on stage at the 6th annual “Ten Grands” concert at Benaroya Hall the previous evening.
Individual roses will be placed at the gravesites honoring veterans during a brief ceremony starting at 10 a.m. and will take approximately one hour to complete. The public is invited to observe this notable event. The event will take place at the Doughboy statue in the Evergreen Washelli Veterans Cemetery.
The Snowman Foundation has been “giving the gift of music” since its inception in September of 1999. Its purpose is to promote the performing arts and to make them accessible to all youthful and “at risk” members of the community. Inspired by the vision of composer/pianist Michael Allen Harrison, The Snowman Foundation, Inc. (501) © (3) provides instruments, scholarships and musical programs to underserved students in the State of Washington. The Snowman Foundation has raised more than $2 million in the past ten years including both Oregon and now Washington. All funding has gone directly to helping serve the youth in our communications through music.
“Ten Grands” presented by RBC Wealth Management is a benefit for The Snowman Foundation, a concert whose proceeds will enable the funding of several music programs, supporting targeted groups where music would make a positive difference in the lives of many children. On April 4th, 2014, the “Ten Grands” concert will be held at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, beginning at 7pm. The “something for everyone” concert includes classical, jazz, blues, gospel, boogie woogie, pop, and contemporary music (including some original compositions). Two pianists are making their “Ten Grands” debut, joining eight veterans who share a passion for giving the gift of music to children. The musicians will play simultaneously, as soloists, in duets, quartets and other combinations. Tickets for this worthy cause are available at the Benaroya Hall Ticket Office.Evergreen Washelli thanks The Snowman Foundation for their generous donation of the roses and supports their efforts in funding music education programs and activities.
