Established in 2017, BENEFIT is a coalition of musicians and community leaders uniting people with music to raise funds and awareness for nonprofit organizations serving children in Loudoun County. A total of $24,200 was awarded among the seven nonprofit organizations. The grant funding was raised from proceeds of BENEFIT’s 2021 Crossroads Music Festival and its 2021 Hope for the Holidays online music special.

At BENEFIT, we know that music can bring people together and make a difference. We are thankful for everyone who helped support BENEFIT and our mission, and in doing so, helped support these nonprofit organizations.” BENEFIT’s 2022 Crossroads Music Festival is planned for Saturday, Sept. 17.
