This year will mark itself as the first year there is a National Day of Service for the remembrance of 9/11, especially after President Barack Obama suggested reaching out to the 9/11 community by volunteering.
In order to make this day special, organizations such as MyGoodDeed and musicians such as Anjulie, Gavin DeGraw, and The Roots will be holding a free concert in the city of NYC on September 11th.
Although it is a free concert, there are a limited number of tickets. The first batch of those have gone to the members of the Sept. 11 community, but if you’re in the area there is word tickets are also being distributed by lottery.
MyGood Deed President, David Paine, explains:
“Our ultimate goal is to leave a positive legacy that honors the victims and those who rose in service,” said David Paine, the president of MyGoodDeed, one of the organizations responsible for the event. “We hope to rekindle the spirit of unity and compassion that followed the terrorist attacks.”
Other guests attending and preforming at the event will be actor, Gary Sinise, Jimmy Fallon, and the Harlem Boys and Girls Choir.
