Surgance has partnered with charitybuzz, the leading auction site to benefit charities to create a branded celebrity auction series that features some of the biggest bands and brands on the planet designed to help keep music alive within Title I schools across America.

charitybuzz harnesses the power of broadcast, print, online and social media to build buzz around our exclusive celebrity auctions. The proceeds will support Surgance programming designed to make a difference in Title I music programs coast to coast and border to border.

Title I schools are those with a greater percentage of students who are at risk of failure and are living at or near poverty level. The U.S. Department of Education provides supplemental funding to local school districts to assist in meeting the educational needs of these students. Typically, these funds aim to bridge this educational gap through additional instruction in reading and mathematics. But what about other programs such as music and the arts?  Surgance and our partners believe that music programs are incredibly important to the development of youth. We aim to make sure they survive and thrive!

And to add another twist, our core values are Humility, Integrity and Collaboration. So in the spirit of collaboration we are also inviting our celebrities and experience designers to choose for us (if they wish) another charity whom they wish to help with proceeds from these auctions and Surgance will collaborate with that charitable partner to make a difference with them as well!

To date, Surgance charitybuzz experiences have included themed music camps, Broadway musicals, some of country music’s biggest song writers, rock bands, celebrity stylists and photographers as well as sports celebrities.

New auctions to benefit these school music programs through Surgance open routinely. Currently, we are highlighting an opportunity to  Come to Nashville and Write a Song with Two of the Most Successful Songwriters in Country Music!

Let the bidding begin! It’s all for a great cause.
