Help Clifford Help Kids 2024: A Night of Music and Philanthropy Benefiting American YouthWorks
23rd Help Clifford Help Kids Celebration at Antone’s Nightclub with a Legendary Performance by The Temptations Review Featuring the legacy of Dennis Edwards
Founded in 2001 by Blues legend and Antone's Nightclub founder, Clifford Antone, and philanthropist Robin Shivers with dear friends Cathy and Rob Lippincott, Help Clifford Help Kids has been a cornerstone in uniting the Austin community to support American YouthWorks' mission of providing young people ages 16-35 opportunities to build careers, strengthen communities, and improve the environment through education, on-the-job training, and service to the community.
This year's celebration will feature a mesmerizing performance by music legends, The Temptations Review featuring the legacy of Dennis Edwards, former lead singer of The Temptations for 14 years. Edwards' gritty vocals were showcased on numerous Billboard hits, including "Psychedelic Shack," "Runaway Child," "Ball of Confusion," "I Can't Get Next to You," and "Papa was a Rolling Stone."
Emcees for the evening will be the dynamic trio of Jody Denberg, Judy Maggio, and Andy Langer, ensuring a lively and engaging atmosphere throughout the event.
In addition to the fantastic musical performances, Help Clifford Help Kids has a longstanding reputation for being a meaningful event in Austin that supports young people. Attendees can enjoy a delightful evening featuring dinner, drinks, auctions, and, most importantly, an opportunity to contribute to American YouthWorks' impactful initiatives.
“We are so grateful to all the Help Clifford Help Kids donors who are supporting educational opportunities, career training, and support services for young people,” said American YouthWorks CEO, Parc Smith, “we see every day how young people make a positive difference in the community and the lives of others.”
