Jackson Browne, Ozomatli and Venice to Perform June 5 at Benefit Concert for Music Programs in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District

LOS ANGELES, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackson Browne, Ozomatli and Venice will be outdoors on the campus of Santa Monica High School at the Memorial Greek Theatre on Sunday, June 5 at 2:00 PM. Reserved and General Admission tickets go on sale Saturday, May 14 at 1:00 PM at all TicketMaster outlets.

This special benefit concert will be in support of the Education Foundation of Santa Monica-Malibu's For The Arts Endowment Fund.

For The Arts, the campaign of the Education Foundation of Santa Monica-Malibu, is a community-wide effort to ensure that every student in public schools receives a broad introduction to the arts -- music, visual arts, dance and drama -- through the creation of a permanent endowment fund.

The Education Foundation of Santa Monica-Malibu, established in 1982, is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, supporting and enhancing a comprehensive range of programs within the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. The mission is to raise funds in support of literacy, arts, science, technology, sports, and innovative enhancements to existing curricula. The Foundation's goal is to ensure an equitable and vibrant educational experience for the children in the Santa Monica-Malibu District with the support of the community.

This benefit concert with Jackson Browne, Ozomatli and Venice at the Memorial Greek Theatre, Sunday, June 5th on the campus of Santa Monica High School will have an impact both for next year and the future. It will provide funds for the For The Arts endowment which will result in an ongoing donation to music in all of the Santa Monica-Malibu public schools once the endowment goals are reached. It will also provide the following music programs in the district's neediest schools next year: 3rd grade general music in the four Title 1 elementary schools, 4th and 5th grade choral music in the four Title 1 elementary schools, Dream Winds, which provides semi-private instrumental music instruction, at the two Santa Monica middle schools.

In addition to the General and Reserved seating available through TicketMaster, special Gold and Silver seating packages are available at www.guacfund.org.

The concert is produced by The Guacamole Fund and House of Blues Concerts in association with Artists For The Arts, a non-profit foundation dedicated to producing fundraising concerts to benefit arts and music programs in public schools.
