Student-organized Concert Raises Funds to Help African AIDS Victims

AIDS concert in Fishers IndianaTwo Fishers students organized a concert April 14 to benefit young victims of AIDS in Africa.

The concert, held at Crossroads Community Church, featured five local bands and a raffle of original artwork created by Hamilton Southeastern students. This was the second year for the fundraiser.

“This isn’t a school project,” said Nigam Arora, a junior at Hamilton Southeastern, who organized the event with Stephanie Harris, a Fishers High student. “We really are doing this because we thought we could help.”

About 170 people attended the event, which raised $1,176. The proceeds will be given to the Indiana University Medical Center to be used for medical supplies to be distributed in Africa.
