Youth Aliyah is a program of the international philanthropic organization Hadassah. The local chapter sponsors this concert each year to raise money to benefit Jewish children worldwide.

Youth Aliyah helps move Jewish children to Israel from countries where their lives are threatened by disease, famine, political upheaval and other circumstances. In Israel these children receive psychological testing and treatment, agricultural and vocational training, and secondary education to prepare them for college. These children receive the benefits of a full educational, recreational and cultural program.
