This event continues the Consilience Awareness Concert Series where immediately following the trio's performance will be a panel discussion/interview with Adam Roberts, founder and Executive Director of the non-profit organization called The $10 Club - a group of compassionate individuals who donate $10 every month that is then pooled together and used to fund a poverty alleviation project.

Adam will discuss the great work they're doing around the world as they fund a different project each month. In addition, he'll speak about what it takes to start a non-profit from scratch, as well as, his experience in the world of larger, more established 501(c)(3) entities.
