"The pandemic is a major setback for women in music. Many remain at home as caregivers, seeking ways to generate income while local live music scenes struggle to survive," said Herizon Music Foundation president, Thea Wood. Meanwhile, virtual business events are expected to increase by $270 billion worldwide between now and 2025, according to ResearchandMarkets.com.

"With that in mind, Herizon Music is launching Random Acts of Music, a service that connects independent female artists with virtual event hosts for paid gigs," explains Wood. "Our September FUNdraiser supports programs including Random Acts Of Music, so we look forward to raising critically needed monies to benefit women in the music industry." 

"Daryl is pleased to support Herizon Music and its mission to help women succeed in the music industry," said Jonathan Wolfson, President of Wolfson Entertainment, Inc., and Executive Producer of Live From Daryl's House which airs on MTV Live. "We wish the Herizon Music Foundation best of luck in its upcoming virtual auction, and hope Daryl's gift pack raises a substantial amount of money to help women succeed in the music profession."

"Music and fashion go hand in hand, so when Thea asked if we wanted to host a virtual jewelry show, we knew it would be a winning idea. This is our third event, and it gets better each time," says Wendy Primeaux, events and philanthropy manager at Kendra Scott's North Austin location.

"Virtual auctions and musical events are proving to be an engaging way to connect fans, influencers, and businesses with the causes they love," says Bob Schiers, founder of RAS Associates Public Relations. "Curating the auction was a blast for my team, and we look forward to our next collaboration."
