Voices For Hope
2009 Winners

CURRENT ENTRY FORMS (by Mail or Online)

The 2009 Voices For Hope final auditions were held on April 4  at the East Hartford Community Cultural Center, East Hartford, CT.      LUNCH partnered with Special Voices,  an organization providing programs for kids with special needs.    Entries were received from four states, and the chosen finalists auditioned live  to win a $500 scholarship and to be a Voices For Hope Ambassador, using the power of popular music to produce positive social action.  The 2009 audition song was "All of Us, God's Children", originally written by Bill Pere for the Special Olympics World Games.    The event culminated in an evening concert with all the Finalists joining the LUNCH Ensemble for a Harry Chapin Tribute event.

Below are the 16 finalists, all exceptionally talented.   As far as we are concerned, any young person who gives their time and talent to help others in need is a winner in all the things that count in life.   All  finalists are eligible to take part in special LUNCH recording and performing events.
