"I am overwhelmed with gratitude that we were able to double the amount of money we donated last year," executive producer Connor Barwin (Vera Y Records) said. "It was a special group of people that came together to make this record, and I am proud to see that diversity represented in the range of organizations this record has been able to support."
The previous album led to $1.25 million in donations to CCTC, CHOP, and the wish lists of Philadelphia School District teachers via Donors Choose.
"It’s a testament to the power of music, friendship, community, the city of Philadelphia, and most of all the enjoyment we had making and sharing these songs," producer Charlie Hall said. "To be able to have this kind of an impact on such a breadth of worthy organizations is both humbling and is truly the icing on the cake."
