Newland Communities is gearing up for another season of its popular Concerts for a Cause. Beginning in mid-September, both FishHawk Ranch and Waterset communities will host concerts featuring area bands such as Frequency, C’Nergy and Charlie Hotel.
The public is invited to attend and encouraged to bring non-perishable food items in lieu of admission.
According to Pam Parisi, director of marketing for Newland Communities, “To mark the fifth anniversary of Concerts for a Cause at FishHawk Ranch, the community has chosen Lithia-based Seeds of Hope as the beneficiary of donations. The non-profit organization, founded by FishHawk Ranch resident Leda Eaton, offers a food pantry for the surrounding areas of Lithia, Brandon and Valrico and also supplies weekend backpacks of food for low-income school children.“
Donations collected during concerts at Waterset will be distributed to Feeding America Tampa Bay, the area’s leading food bank, which provides food to more than 700,000 people in a 10-county area of West Florida, including Hillsborough County.
The FishHawk Ranch concerts will take place at FishHawk Ranch Central Park, located at 14215 Barrington Stowers Dr. in Lithia, and the concerts at Waterset will take place on The Great Lawn, the Lakeside at Waterset, located at 7012 Sail View Ln. in Apollo Beach.
