such an inspiration throughout my life and I couldn't
imagine where I'd be without it. I am so grateful to
be able to bring together a special show with StubHub

Foundation, and the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation to
encourage today's youth to pursue their passions in
music. This is sure to be a great night for a

MORE: StubHub recognizes that providing rewarding experiences
and taking its music efforts to the next stage extends
beyond the concert and, as such, is continuing the
mission of its corporate social responsibility program
promoting music education and the arts by naming Mr.
Holland's Opus Foundation a national recipient of its
Rising Star Award. The award comes with an initial
$250,000 grant from the StubHub Foundation (a
corporate-advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community
Foundation) and access to StubHub's platform, partners
and employee talent to help further its mission to keep
music alive in schools.


The StubHub Foundation grant will be distributed by MHOF
to schools in need, in the form of $50,000 in new
musical instruments that will help ensure the
continuation and expansion of school music education
programs throughout five of the concert series markets.
In addition, 100% of ticket proceeds from the Next
Stage benefit concerts will be donated to MHOF.


The first three events for The Next Stage Concert Series
Benefiting Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation took place in
May in Los Angeles featuring Swedish singer-songwriter
Lykee Li, in June in Nashville featuring Los Angeles-
based rock band Grouplove and the most recent one
featured Portugal. The Man in San Francisco. The next
