Event Details

Pacifica, CA  — Community organizations throughout Pacifica and adjoining areas invite you to join us at “Leap Into Kindness, a community sing-along”.  This fun-spirited and enjoyable evening will bring people together to sing out for kindness, compassion, justice and peace.  The free event will be held Thursday, February 29, 7 – 9 pm, at the Mildred Owen Concert Hall, 1220 Linda Mar Blvd., Pacifica.

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

–Writer/s: Jackie DeShannon, Jimmy Holiday, Randy Myers

 

You don’t need to be versed in three-part harmony or sing in a chorus!  We’ll be led by some of our talented local singers and musicians including Pete Shoemaker, Michael Crabtree, Charlie Goldberg and John Hall.  And, all lyrics will be provided on the big screen.  Your enthusiasm to celebrate kindness in the spirit of community is the only prerequisite.

The sing-along is brought to you under the umbrella of “Art for a More Peaceful and Just Community” a creative collective project of the Pacifica Collaborative (community-based organization partners, school districts, and city) including Sanchez Art Center, and grant-funded by the San Mateo County Arts Commission.  A response to hateful actions and crimes that have occurred in Pacifica and surrounding communities, the grant emphasizes the utilization of arts in all forms to actively promote kindness, resilience, peace and compassion.

With so many difficulties in the world today, why focus on something seemingly small, like “kindness”?  Kindness is an integral component of peace and justice.  It’s the basis of a strong community and personal well-being.  Being kind can reduce stress, increase good-feelings, boost confidence,   and optimism, and has a ripple effect… being kind to someone, provides them the inspiration to pass it on by being kind to someone else.

 

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some, but for everyone
–Lyrics: Hal David; Music: Burt Bacharach, 1965

Who:  All are welcome to come together, sing-along and leave happy!
