About
Our Founder
The Rhythm for Hope foundation was created in 2024 with the intention to give back to the community through Music. In sharing performances with others while taking donations for featured charities. We are hoping to transform lives on both sides of these transactions for the better. This foundation is dedicated to my father Anthony V. Befi who loved music and hearing us perform. Unfortunately Dad left this earth in September 2020. He is dearly missed and remembered.
Our Vision
Rhythm for hope intends to enrich the lives of Senior Citizens and others through free musical performances at Senior Centers, Assisted Living Facilities, 55+ Communities and Childrens Hospitals while also impacting the lives of many through donations to featured public charities. Over time we will begin to involve younger musicians in performances to help enhance their musicianship as well as strengthen their drive to give back to the community.
Our Mission
Our current mission and goal is to begin performing and collecting donations in the fourth quarter of 2024 so that we can fund our concerts and if donors request, pass some of those donations on to our featured charity. Our target is 10 charitable performances per year starting in the 4th quarter of 2024.
Please Note: Zelle donations are preferred by us because we are not charged a service fee, your donation is immediate and 100% of your donation goes to fund our charitable work.
Thank you for considering a donation!
A Message from our Founder
Being a 501(c)(3) publicly funded charity we rely on your generous donations to keep our mission and vision alive. We are glad you are considering donating to us. After my father passed, my mother went into an assisted living facility. She is well cared for but as we visited, we noticed there was a need for entertainment and joy to be brought into the lives of the residents there. My brother and I started to perform for them and they loved it as did we. Considering this, and my late fathers love for music I decided to start this charity focused on bringing musical performances to seniors and childrens hospitals for free in the hopes of bringing joy and enriching the lives of those we performed for. I hope you've seen one of our shows and that is what spurred you to stop by our donation page and consider helping us fund our efforts!
If you would like you can designate up to 25% of your donation to Rhythm for Hope to be allocated to our current Featured Charity.
