The singing Gilbert family salutes the troops with ‘The Wiz’
The five Gilberts were part of the Valley's Dream Kids
performing troupe for 12 years, under the Dream Come True Foundation.
After the 9/11 attacks, the Gilberts took their work seriously and
started thinking about U.S. military troops who protect our freedoms and
how to show appreciation for their sacrifice. In 2005, they founded the
charitable organization, Sing for America, and continue to perform in
the Valley and along the East Coast to raise donations for families of
active military. They have appeared locally at Mayfair Festival of the
Arts, Musikfest, The Great Allentown Fair, and Coca Cola Park. To date,
they have raised more than $30,000 through donations for the Valley
chapter of Blue Star Mothers.
