On Saturday, September 6, 2008 the Wilbert Rimper’s Music Sharing, Inc., a non-profit organization, will be presenting its second annual benefit concert titled, “Concert and Dessert”. The concert begins at 7pm and will be held at Sunnyside High School’s Performing Arts Auditorium (1019 S Peach Ave). Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Scholarships will be offered to students with financial hardships, who also demonstrate great musical talents and a love for music.
The concert will be hosted by Fresno Deputy Mayor Jeff Eben, with special guest soloists:
