It’s more than a concert
Every ticket purchased helps prevent evictions and keeps families housed right here in Athens and also in surrounding counties.
For over 35 years, The Ark has bridged the gap for low-income working families when emergency strikes by providing essential emergency funds to prevent utility disconnections and evictions. This annual benefit concert is one of our most powerful fundraisers.
