Origivation owner, Brian Cronin says “There are a lot of great organizations that are doing incredible work in this city and we want to help shine a light on that.” A portion of the proceeds of the first concert will go to benefit Caring People Alliance, a local nonprofit that operates the West Philadelphia Community Center and two other community centers in Philadelphia. The West Center is building a program that will focus on educational supports and anti-violence initiatives aimed directly at teens.
The event will take place Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 at 8:00 pm at the World Café Live located at 3025 Walnut Street. RES, a Philadelphia native, will play a 45-60 minute set featuring popular songs such as “They Say Vision” and “Golden Boys” as well as material from her new upcoming album RESET. When asked about the event, RES responded “I am from Philly, I was a Temple student and my father owns businesses in North Philly… I know what these streets can do so I want to give back”. RES’s set will last from 8:30 PM – 9:30 PM followed by Origivation showcase artists, Christy Jefferson, Quincy Mumford and Seve.
