NEXTARTS COLLECTS SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR BUENA VISTA ELEMENTARYSAN FRANCISCO, CA, November 8, 2007 NextArts announces the results of their Concerts with a Cause Series. Over 1,500 units of new schools supplies were collected and given to Buena Vista Elementary - San Francisco. We thank the artists and sponsors who participated in this year's free outdoor concerts, all our media outlets, and the people of San Francisco for responding with so many new items. Your support of the collection drive made it a great success!  NextArts produces concerts in public spaces throughout San Francisco. We are a social enterprise that provides special event production services as a means to raise funds to support our concert series. Recognizing the integral role of art and music in San Francisco's culture, NextArts produces our free outdoor concerts in diverse communities. In 2005, we began asking attendees to bring (new) unused items, with tag still attached for collection and redistribution to worthy charities instead of gated admission. So far we have collected over 2,600 pairs of new socks and underwear and over 1,400 units of school supplies. All new, all with tags still attached. Please visit www.NextArts.org for more details.
