Speak Up! was created to bring awareness and aid to suffering people all over the world through the avenue of art. Every show displays a collection of talented local artists, which includes both music and art. Also each concert spotlights a needy people group and gives an opportunity to take action. Speak Up! concerts are affiliated with Grace Christian Fellowship of San Diego. If you are interesting in performing or volunteering at SPEAK UP! events please contact Shannon at SpeakUpSD@gmail.com
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
-Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak Up was a night of live music provided by Ladies & Gentlemen,
Sorrow Underfoot, Daniel Hilton, Mark Gomez, Sergey Kolivayko
and Josh Keas. Also there was Spoken Word and Poetry performed. In
addition to the concert, there was a silent auction art show; the pieces
were donated by local artists in San Diego. There also was a cafe set up
with coffee, smoothies, and baked goods. Also joining "Speak Up"
was C28;
they sold merchandise at a discounted price and donated a
percentage of their earnings to the trip. All proceeds went toward the
Russia mission we are having in July 2009. The team's main focus is to reach
out to the teens and orphans of Russia.
