Event coordinator Danny McElroy, grandson of Anna Chatmon, comments “This is going to be a great show it should bring in enough funds to fulfill many of  the commitments the center has made to the children and elders who need help and look forward to our support. Were living in times of economic hardship and everyone should do what they can to help one another. In the words of the late Reverend M.C. Chatmon ‘I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day.’” The staff at the M.C. Chatmon Center for Humanitarian services work to carry out this vision and purpose, only this year they will not only pay it forward at the concert at playhouse square’s state theater but at the health and financial fair (focusing on healthy living and nutrition) sponsored by PNC Bank and facilitated by Danita Harris of news channel 5 held at Trinity commons on 22^nd and Euclid.
