Cheeseburger in Paradise is celebrating a second year of supporting VH1's Save the Music Foundation.

To support music education locally, Cheeseburger in Paradise California has partnered with Leonardtown High School's music program, which will receive a portion of the night's sales. All profits from sales of the limited-edition "Save the Music" t-shirts will go to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. The event will take place Wednesday, Sept. 23 between 6 and 9 p.m.

According to VH1’s Save the Music Web site, the Save The Music Foundation was founded in 1997 as a public affairs initiative of the VH1 network. The Foundation’s core mission is to restore instrumental music education programs, ensuring that every child has access to a complete education that includes the benefits of music instruction.

Since its inception, The Foundation has remained faithful to and focused on making our mission come to life. Now a 501(c) (3) not for profit organization, The Foundation continues working in close affiliation with its parent network.

The inspiration for The Foundation grew out of John Sykes’s volunteer experience as Principal for a Day at the Brooklyn, New York public school, PS 58 - The Carroll School. John saw first-hand how the students in the music program at PS 58 were struggling due to the great need for musical instruments and he was inspired to dig deeper into the problem and learn more about the benefits a student receives from studying a musical instrument.

On Sept. 23, come rock out with Cheeseburger in Paradise and help Save the Music at Leonardtown Highschool.
