PhilanthroPEAK is the title of the forthcoming Asheville outreach documentary being produced by Concepts4Charity (C4C), an organization devoted to raising awareness for community issues through sports and the arts. PhilanthroPEAK will be a story that takes action by discussing ideas for developing grassroots projects in Western North Carolina, while also promoting the goodwill and concerns of the local community.
A wide array of area musicians, artists and activists who appear in the project will be on hand for the lengthy day of events and patrons will get a sneak "peak" at some of the flourishing talent from the Asheville community. Funds raised from the evening's events will help promote the awareness for C4C's upcoming Hip Hop Culture class an after-school program to premiere in Asheville during the fall of 2010. Additional funds from tickets sales, donations, and raffle items will go toward the release and distribution of the final documentary presentation.

A Film Taking Action:
PhilanthroPEAK looks to take action, becoming acquainted with activists in the Asheville community, to discuss ideas for developing various grassroots projects that speak to the concerns of the community. This past spring, Concepts4Charity, Inc. (C4C) provided a platform for Asheville citizens to weigh in on topics that hit close to home. C4C held a retreat to bring together some of the talented people of Asheville all under one roof to not only be interviewed or perform on film, but also to network and forge strategic plans. PhilanthroPEAK has been engaging a diverse spectrum of community musicians/artists, educators; philanthropists and entrepreneurs throughout 2009 to get an inside look at initiatives in which they are currently involved. PhilanthroPEAK will help unite the Asheville community and promote it to the rest of the country.
The WNC filmmakers that are involved in the making of PhilanthroPEAK are:
David Bourne with Bourne Media, Kurt Mann with American Green, David Schmidt with Acapella Audio, and Stellar Media. PhilanthroPEAK Live , the event, is the last phase of filming for the documentary which was started last spring at the aforementioned retreat and continued throughout the year at various events and concerts throughout Asheville.
