Event Details

High School Bands perform for a cause. 1 Live Showdown. A Bigger Cause.

Groove for Good Challenge is a live musical showdown where high school bands use music to create real impact and support underprivileged kids in Kenya

Enabling Leadership Inc., a global nonprofit working with 10,000+ children across 4 countries, brings you an afternoon of live music, competition, fun and meaningful impact where Bay area kids act as catalysts of change while performing live on stage.

Groove for Good is a high-energy live Battle of the Bands where high-school students are standing up, taking action and using their music to help create better opportunities for children in underserved communities in Kenya.

When you attend this event, not only do you encourage these Bay area bands, but every ticket you buy, supports children from underserved children.
