Go Celebrate: A Conversation with Life

To honour a classmate who had passed away due to complications from Crohn’s disease, 16-year-old David Meng organized a fundraising concert featuring several original compositions. Titled “A Conversation with Life,” the event brought together nearly a hundred performers to raise over $10,000 for Crohn’s and colitis research and programs. For David, it was important to use his talents to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others affected by these diseases.
