Hifi House Supports Local Organizations with 50th Anniversary Concert Event

Hifi House Celebrates a 50-Year Legacy of Community Involvement and Charitable Support With a Concert Event to Benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand and MusicLab

BROOMALL, Pa., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Next week Hifi House will celebrate five decades of corporate citizenship and charitable community involvement with a 50th anniversary concert at World Cafe Live. Portions of the event proceeds will be used to fight childhood cancer and support music education by benefiting the charitable work of Alex's Lemonade Stand, which funds pediatric cancer research, and the educational outreach program of MusicLab at World Cafe Live, a community-based music education series for school-age students and adults.

Hifi House's 50th anniversary concert kicks off on Wednesday, November 16th, at 6:30 p.m., at the World Cafe Live, located at 3025 Walnut Street, in Philadelphia. The concert, sponsored in part by Philadelphia Magazine, will feature a rare live performance by Philadelphia's famous rock act, The Hooters, with special musical guest Shamsi Ruhe. Audience members will also enjoy a live charity auction, where they can bid on two Gibson guitars, as well as the chance to enjoy an upcoming Philadelphia 76ers game from the posh comfort of a Wachovia Center luxury suite. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres and cocktails will be served, with a cash bar open after 10:00 p.m.

"Hifi House and World Cafe Live are helping us make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer," says Jay Scott, Executive Director of Alex's Lemonade Stand. "This is a wonderful way to honor Alex's legacy, and demonstrate how small, individual acts of charity add up, and can ultimately have a positive impact on many people, and even the world."

Saul Robbins founded Hifi House in 1955 in the back room of a Philadelphia area men's clothing store, and since that time, the company has brought the newest home entertainment technology to the Tri-State area. Following in his footsteps, Hifi House President Ken Adelberg and COO Jon Robbins continue to provide the area with the most innovative products, the best customer service, and dedication to the community.

Indeed, the Hifi House Group of Companies have a long legacy of organizing, promoting, and participating in charitable events throughout the Delaware Valley, notably the Tylenol Kids' Classic Golf Tournament in 1986, which raised $1.2 million over seven years for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Hifi House, together with the Elf Foundation, recently donated and installed two "Rooms of Magic" to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Valued at $15,000, these state-of-the-art playrooms benefit pediatric pulmonary and endocrinology patients.

Also in the past year, the company donated the use and installation of flat-panel televisions to thirteen Stephen Starr restaurants throughout Philadelphia to support President Clinton's broadcast thanking Americans for their response to the Asian tsunami. Additionally, Hifi House is involved with organizations such as the St. Charles Seminary, Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis Center, The Please Touch Museum, Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, Thomas Jefferson Hospital, Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as many other faith-based and community organizations. These are just a few recent examples

of the many charitable organizations and initiatives that Hifi House's executive leadership, managers, and employees continue to support.

"We're thrilled to be able to thank the Delaware Valley for 50 years of patronage by sponsoring this exciting concert event to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand and MusicLab," says Jon Robbins. "Hifi House's executive leadership, managers, and employees are deeply committed to the Delaware Valley, and we will continue to promote and uphold the highest standards for good corporate citizenship for the next 50 years," adds Ken Adelberg.
