Description

The For Samantha Foundation was established to honor the life of Samantha Spano who lost her life to suicide in March 2017.  The For Samantha Benefit Concert is a ticketed event where supporters enjoy food, live entertainment, raffles and silent auctions. The Benefit Concert has become our major fundraising event for the year.  All proceeds support the mission of the For Samantha Foundation whose intent is to grant scholarships in Samantha's memory. In the past six years, we have granted $48,000 in scholarships to high school seniors across the country.  We would love a donation from local businesses and attractions to help enhance our event.
