The Community School for the Performing Arts will be holding a benefit recital at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the All Faiths Chapel on the Kansas State campus.
In correspondence with the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation, the recital’s goal is to raise money for the Disaster Recovery Fund.
The recital will feature musical performances from both K-State music, theatre and dance students as well as performers from the Manhattan Arts Center. Performers will range in age from adults to children.
Elaine Dhyuvven, vice president of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation, has been working with the city and public to raise money for recovery since the afternoon of the flooding.
