4th Annual Champagne Concerto a Success!
Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center’s 4th Annual Champagne Concerto to benefit caregivers was a huge success, raising $19,751 to provide respite to family caregivers in our community. The event was held on April 13th in Granite Bay and is a product of a supportive and proactive teen, Austin Lee. For the fourth consecutive year, Austin has expressed his desire to assist family caregivers in the community by raising awareness and funds through this worthwhile event.

Austin Lee Creates Magic Beyond the Keys

Granite Bay teen, Austin Lee, started playing the piano at age seven. He quickly became proficient at making music that magically lingers far after the notes have faded.
After learning about funding shortages at the Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center in 2010, Austin decided to help and combined his talent as a gifted pianist with his compassion to serve the family caregivers in our community by organizing a fundraiser, “Champagne Concerto.” Now in our 4th year, Austin and a committee of volunteers has raised $55,571.
Currently a junior at Granite Bay High School, Austin is beginning to think about college. He hasn’t honed in on any particular school, but thinks he wants to go east. And though music will always be part of his life, he is leaning toward a career in health administration. Curious about what this young and gifted piano player has on his iPod? It’s not what you might think. “I like Coldplay, alternative music and rap. . . “, he said with a wide smile. He also loves playing video games, tennis and skateboarding when time allows. And he is learning to play the guitar.
Where will Austin’s magic music take him next? The path isn’t clear, but one thing is for sure, he will make music wherever he goes.
Thank you!
