NEW YORK, NY — Major musical talent came together this summer on Cape Cod to raise $30K for bullying prevention work done by the Tyler Clementi Foundation. Producer Mark Cortale organized a summer-long concert series to help raise funds for the Tyler Clementi Foundation with star-studded performances in both Provincetown and Martha’s Vineyard. These performances raised an incredible $30,000 for the Foundation, which will be put towards the organization’s research-based, dynamic anti-bullying programming, such as the #Day1 Campaign and the Tyler Clementi Institute for CyberSafety at the New York Law School.
“We are so grateful to Mark Cortale and these talented stars for helping fund our anti-bullying work. Every dollar helps develop programs for bullied youth around the country,” said Sean Kosofsky, executive director of The Tyler Clementi Foundation.
Six of the concerts were hosted and music directed by Sirius XM Radio Star Seth Rudetsky and the performances included:
