Concerts With Causes, Inc. is a Wallingford, Connecticut based ongoing 501c3 non-profit organization, formed July 2011. In 2014, the third year focus project put in place a permanent ongoing fund called the "Imagine It" Education Fund. The purpose of this fund is to provide financial support to community youth who would like to pursue music learning opportunities. The first year a young woman, McClain Cassello, applied for and was awarded a year of private music lessons. The second year the fund was able to award money to the Wallingford Public School Music Department, the Wallingford Community Theater and the Augusta Curtis Cultural Center Youth Summer Music Program. This "Imagine It" event at the ACCC is their annual fundraiser.
