LOCAL PIANIST TO PERFORM Solo RECITAL TO BENEFIT ABUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN

(Florence, SC – December 16, 2008) Dr. Joanne Kampiziones will perform a Charity Solo Piano Recital, January 11, 2009, at the Florence Little Theatre in Florence. All proceeds from the recital will benefit “The Naomi Project Inc.”

Dr. Kampiziones, a native of Florence and Assistant Professor of Music at Coker College and a member of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence, is offering the concert as a way of giving back to the community, in particular an organization that helps so many in need. “I am grateful and fortunate to be able to help this worthy charity in any way I can, especially through this concert.” Kampiziones said.

The Naomi Project Inc.’s core mission is to change the lives of families going through domestic abuse after making the choice not to return to their abuser. It is the goal of The Naomi Project Inc. to provide long-term transitional housing coupled with educational, financial, emotional, mental, and spiritual training, which will enable the victim(s) to become self-reliant, self-actualized and self-sufficient.

Six in ten or 60% of homeless head of households have been affected by domestic abuse.
