Love Street Light Circus (the nonprofit)
Love Street Light Circus is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization located in Houston, Texas. It promotes volunteerism among Houston's professional and amateur musicians to benefit Houston’s children. Love Street attracts volunteer musicians to participate in unique musical events of artistic merit and then connects the musicians with local children's charities. The events also benefit the children's charities.
Love Street Light Circus has no paid staff and is supported entirely by volunteers. Love Street Light Circus is funded by contributions from the public and from performances by its members.
Love Street's inaugural gala event, White Album for Purple Songs, is scheduled for Sunday, November 16, 2008, 6:00 pm, at Crystal Ballroom at The Rice Hotel in downtown Houston.
