There are a lot of ways to learn about philanthropy and economics, but the San Marcos High School Kids Helping Kids program has to be one of the most interesting and unique. Over the course of 11 years, students have volunteered more than 10,000 hours of work, resulting in $700,000 being raised for charitable purposes\u2014to improve the lives of disadvantaged children both globally and locally. This year\u2019s completely student-run annual gala benefit concert features Needtobreathe<\/a> as headliner, with an opening set by Johnnyswim<\/a>. | Jan. 8-9. The Granada Theatre, 1214 State St. 805\/899-2222, granadasb.org<\/a>, kidshelpingkidssb.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(Editor’s Note: A second concert, on Jan. 8, has been added and is not yet sold out.)<\/p>\n
