Purpose
The Melodies 4 Life concert is a special act of love and solidarity, where children and young people share their talent and soul through the power of music. The purpose of this unique event is to raise funds to support children and families facing health problems or severe financial difficulties.
The idea for this concert was initiated by Pavlos Martinis, a high school student who wanted to take on a project of giving back to children living a reality very different from his own. He reached out to Panos & Cressida 4 Life and proposed a collaboration to bring the event to life.
Panos & Cressida 4 Life was founded in 2006 in memory of two young people who passed away too soon. Since then, it has carried out important charitable work for children and youth facing serious issues related to health, education, or sports, or who live in remote areas.
To ensure that the proceeds from the concert truly support children and families in difficult circumstances—offering real relief and hope—Panos & Cressida 4 Life is joining forces with two other outstanding organizations: Mazi gia to Paidi, (Together for children), which has been working for nearly 30 years to protect thousands of children in Greece, and Galillee, which supports individuals battling serious illnesses, along with their families.
