Pianos at the Pavilion was a fundraiser for the CEJ, which is a nonprofit organization in Carbondale, IL that provides resources to homeless and low-income people. There is also a focus on how making art can empower underserved communities.

 

For this event, several bands performed, a community leader spoke about his experience working with the CEJ to support homeless people and people who were struggling with drug addiction, and a woman who had been formerly homeless spoke about the support she had received from the CEJ.

 

There was also a dunk tank, refreshments from a local bakery, a plant sale, and an art sale.
