I’m Hosting GFW2011 at Maxwell’s!

I am thrilled to be hosting the third-annual Global Fund for Women Benefit show on April 7, 2011 at Maxwell’s in Hoboken.


The third-annual Concert to Benefit Global Fund for Women is coming to Maxwell’s (1039 Washington St, Hoboken) on April 7 2011. I’m hosting. I’m psyched about that. Presented by Clueless Events, proceeds will benefit Global Fund for Women.

If you’re not familiar with the show or the cause, let me spell it out for you. Since 2009, my good friend Nelson Pla has staged a kick-ass night of music to gather friends together for his birthday and to raise money for a great cause.

Global Fund for Women is an international network committed to a world of equality and social justice. Founded in 1987, this nonprofit organization defends women’s rights by making grants to support women’s groups. They promote the economic security, health, safety, education, and leadership of women and girls worldwide.

This year’s show will have another fantastic line up of bands, local heroes, and surprise guests. You don’t want to miss this show. So spread the word and help us rock out for a great cause. And — for those of you who are driving into town — Maxwell’s is now offering discounted parking at two nearby garages.
