Les Schwab Tire Centers assist Harmony4Women
Harmony4Women, the local Women’s Acappella Benefit Community Chorus, has received major sponsorship funding from Les Schwab Tire Centers.
The Les Schwab managers have been strong supporters of the chorus since its beginnings in 2009. With stores in each Central Oregon community, they understand the spirit of bringing the many local communities together, through business and through culture.
The community chorus opens its arms to women who love to sing, and want to be a part of this valuable experience in acappella harmony, music education, and community. Past singers have been from La Pine to Madras, Sisters to Prineville, and Bend and Redmond in between.
