We decided to collaborate with the Princeton Footnotes (a cappella group) to host a musical event during the fall. SVYL members were in charge of arranging this event by creating ticket systems, designing flyers, and more. In addition, we have other musical groups like Colorful Universe and New Ballet to perform additional music for the audience. All of the money earned from this event will be donated to a fundraiser as a way to give back to the community.
