Poca a Poco announced that it has raised $1,400 with its second annual Sampler Event on April 13 at Park Presbyterian Church in Streator.

Those funds will make it possible for Poca a Poco to host its flagship program, Summer Music Fest, which includes free community music events and provides training programs for young musicians. This year’s festival will be from June 8 to 15 in Streator.

The nonprofit organization holds only two fundraisers per year, the Sampler Event in the spring and the virtual Christmas telegrams in winter. Additional funding is provided through grants and donations.
