The Reach Foundation, in accordance with the Wilson Family, has been searching for an opportunity to even further their contributions to these organizations. Reach has always dreamt big when it comes to giving to children in need. The Reach Foundation Music Festival has been a long time dream for the Wilsons and is the perfect chance to demonstrate the generosity of many. The concert will be a great platform for the benefitting organizations, such as St. Jude’s, to educate people about their cause and about their needs. The Reach Foundation dreams of people giving back in the millions to help the youth of our nation, and this concert will be a great stepping stone toward that direction.
