Independence IT Extends Community Involvement With Continued Sponsorship of Musikfest
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
Independence IT has announced it will return as a sponsor of Musikfest. One of the summer’s hottest Lehigh Valley attractions, Musikfest 2010 will be held August 6-15 in downtown Bethlehem, PA. The event is a pro-arts initiative of its parent organization, ArtsQuest, which aims to celebrate the arts and culture of the Greater Lehigh Valley, PA area. By becoming involved with programs like Musikfest that foster a sense of community and culture, Independence IT is having a positive impact on the region.
Since its inception in 1984, Musikfest has become well-known for organizing fun-filled festivals for a great cause. Drawing artists from nearly every musical genre, Musikfest attracts a crowd of more than one million people to celebrate music and the arts together. This year, the ‘fest offers more than 300 performances over the course of ten days on 14 different stages – 11 of which are free and require no admission ticket thanks, in part, to sponsors like Independence IT. Confirmed acts include Lynyrd Skynyrd, Counting Crows, Norah Jones, Augustana, Adam Lambert and Martina McBride. All proceeds from Musikfest are donated to a variety of nonprofit groups in the region, including The Banana Factory, ArtQuest’s community arts center and gallery in Bethlehem.
“At Independence IT, we’re pleased to again support Musikfest this summer,” said company CEO Tony Whitton. “For more than a decade we’ve been helping small companies in the Lehigh Valley get the benefits of using technology to grow their businesses without the hassle of owning and maintaining it. Sponsorship of Musikfest enables us to extend our involvement with the local community in a fun and meaningful way.”
By securely providing all the business applications an employee needs through “the cloud” (i.e. over the Internet), Independence IT helps companies give their workers the freedom to work where and when they will be most productive – in the office, at home, or on the road.
