On Saturday Feb. 6, the University of Hartford’s Eta Mu chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota will be hosting its annual benefit concert.
Sigma Alpha Iota is a musical-based fraternity on campus and every year, Sigma Alpa Iota chooses a cause that the fraternity wants to devote a whole year to and a benefit concert is held to raise money.
This year, the fraternity chose the American Brain Foundation. ABF is a non-profit organization that supports research on strategies for screening, treatments and prevention of brain and nervous system diseases.
Since the American Brain Foundation was founded, $20 million has been invested for funding. This money is used for research to find cures for brain diseases.
The music fraternity chose this cause for this year because they want to support the members of Eta Mu and people that members know that have suffered from brain and nervous system diseases.
To help out Sigma Alpha Iota and their strong desire to help out the American Brain Foundation, you can visit the website and make a donation.
