Pedrozzi Foundation beneficiary of music in the orchard concert series

Mark your calendar for the last Thursdays of June, July, August and September for the Fourth Annual Music in the Orchard Summer Benefit Concert Series at the Purple Orchid Wine Country Resort and Spa. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and relax under the olive trees of Livermore's finest resort at 4549 Cross Road to enjoy talented musicians while supporting local students.

The Pedrozzi Foundation is once again a beneficiary of the enjoyable outdoor concert series presented by the Purple Orchid, Nottingham Cellars, Altamont Beer Works, and Sauced BBQ. The Foundation was established by Livermore businessman Mario Pedrozzi, so it is appropriate for local businesses to join together to support local students.

The concert proceeds help expand the Foundation’s impact. In addition to awarding scholarships to Livermore students, the Foundation works to help create a career and college bound culture among all Livermore students and families – especially those in underrepresented and underserved communities. Partnering with the school district to fund PSAT testing for all sophomores and hosting free workshops on paying for college and applying for financial aid are a few of the ways the Foundation is helping students reach their potential. The Foundation recently awarded $437,000 in scholarships to 114 local students. Learn more at PedrozziFoundation.org.

Tickets are $14 in advance or $20 at the door. Purchase tickets online at PurpleOrchid.com. Advanced tickets also available at Nottingham Cellars, 2245 C So Vasco Rd and Altamont Beer Works, 2402 Research Rd, Livermore.

ABOUT THE PEDROZZI SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION

The Pedrozzi Foundation provides college and vocational scholarships and resources to Livermore students. We believe that all students deserve the chance to pursue their educational and career goals and that the lack of finances or information should not be a barrier. Every day we create an impact by helping our students achieve their dreams. The Foundation was established by Mario Pedrozzi, a Livermore businessman, who left his estate as a gift to the community. Other community members are continuing Mr. Pedrozzi’s legacy by generously donating to this unique and high-impact community organization.
