Concert & Award Show Volunteers Needed – Point Foundation’s Voices On Point Event

Point Foundation is hosting its third annual Voices On Point fundraising dinner and concert in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 13th at the Hyatt Regency Plaza in Century City. Voices On Point will not only feature Point Scholars sharing their compelling stories of perseverance, but also acclaimed recording artists raising their voices in song to help LGBTQ students pursue their dreams of higher education.
