Mark your calendars for evenings in June, July, August and September for the popular Music in the Orchard 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 to enjoy talented musicians while supporting local students.

For the seventh year, the Pedrozzi Foundation is gratefully a beneficiary of the enjoyable concert series presented by the Purple Orchid, Nottingham Cellars, and Posada on Wheels. The Foundation was established by Livermore businessman Mario Pedrozzi, so it is appropriate for local businesses to collaborate in supporting students.

This year’s line-up includes: Wolf Hamlin and The Front Porch Drifters on June 27th, The Michael Beck Band on July 18th, Toree McGee on August 29th, and Crawdad Republic on September 26th.

In addition to awarding scholarships to Livermore students, the Foundation helps create a career- and college- bound culture among all Livermore students. The Foundation recently awarded $443,500 in scholarships to 115 local students and welcomed the fourth cohort of Pedrozzi Young Scholars. Learn more at Pedrozzi.org.

ABOUT THE PEDROZZI 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. Learn more at Pedrozzi.org.
