the form of cozy blankets to 
sick children or those in fos-
ter care. This fundraiser will 
ensure that these projects 
remain strong and effective.” 
Artistic Director and 
President of the Detroit 
Youth Choir Anthony White 
said his young singers were 
very grateful for the oppor-
tunity to headline the con-
cert. 
“To perform for NCJW 
will be an amazing oppor-
tunity to share our gifts and 
talents to a brand-new audi-
ence,” he explained. 
Since 2014, NCJW|MI has 
organized the Back 2 School 
Store event, where low-in-
come pre-identified Detroit 
children are provided with 
their own personal shopper 
to choose the appropriate 
coat, clothing and school sup-
plies. In 2019, 748 children 
attended the event. 
Due to the pandemic, the 
program has been modified 
with clothing and supplies 

being distributed to children 
via agencies. This month, 
900 Detroit children will go 
back to school with clothing 
and supplies from the Back 
2 School store program and 
1,350 low-income and home-
less students in Oakland 
County will receive filled 
backpacks. 
Last year, more than 300 
low-income children in 
Metro Detroit, identified by 
19 local agencies, nonprofit 
organizations and schools, 
received new winter coats, 
socks, mittens and PJ bot-
toms, in a drive-through 
event called “Wrapped in 
Warmth.” Money raised at the 
concert will be used to sup-
port programs such as these. 
Tickets for the concert cost 
$36 for adults, $10 for chil-
dren ages 6 to 19 and free for 
children 5 and under. Patron 
tickets are $75. 
To register for the concert, 
go to ncjwmi.org or call (248)
