National Opera Star Lends Help to CGLI on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

By Rachel Weymouth
There are many organizations around Buffalo that help out those in need, including a new group to help the youth of Buffalo. The Culture of Giving Legacy Initative (CGLI) is a group under the organization of Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo (CFGB). CGLI was started in 2008 to help youth from low income areas enjoy new experiences. 
On March 4th the group is having an inaugural event to gain awareness for this new initiative. Angela Brown, an Opera singer from NYC is coming to Buffalo to host the event. Brown was recently featured on CNN and has a one women show called "Opera from a Sister's Point of View". Brown will be performing her one-woman show at Kleinhans Music Hall for Buffalo Public School students in grades 4 through 6. The show is witty and full of opera plots, dancing and different characters. Brown will perform from 6 to 8 PM. 
CGLI is made up of 16 multi-cultural multi-ethnic leaders with deep ties in the community. The members include a team of professionals who strive to make a difference with the students, believing that, if given a chance, these youth will strive for the best in their lives and succeed.
