Band Together

to where it all began. On September 12, 2001, Phil Gruber, Shellie Sierra, Danny Rosin, Tom Lyon, and Skip Mangum came together with a simple question: How can we help?

What started as a conversation in the wake of 9/11 became Band Together's very first event, a four-band benefit concert that brought more than 1,000 people together and raised over $60,000 for families impacted by the attacks.

These photos capture the beginning of a movement built on music, community, and the belief that even small acts can create lasting impact.

Twenty-five years later, we're still inspired by the vision of those founders and the thousands of people who have helped carry that mission forward.❤️

For 25 years, we’ve worked to help nonprofits raise critical funding for their missions.

We recently asked past beneficiaries about the impact of our partnership, they talked about something even bigger than financial support.

Visibility. Confidence. Relationships. Momentum.

This reflection El Futuro last year stuck with us: "We’ve never been on such a big stage before, physically or metaphorically.”

Because the impact we create when we band together goes far beyond a single event. It’s access to a community of partners, volunteers, donors, supporters, and visibility opportunities all committed to strengthening nonprofit missions across the Triangle.

Thank you for being part of this village. Every follow, share, donation, and moment of support helps expand the reach of these organizations and the impact they make in our community.
