Emily McAllister vows to help others.

The Auburn Mountainview High School senior, with the support of her school, organized a benefit concert – Singing Out To Stop The Silence & End The Violence – on Thursday, with proceeds supporting the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV).

Local high school students performed at the concert.

McAllister’s goal is to raise $10,000.00 to benefit the WSCADV, a nonprofit network and one of the leading voices to end domestic violence in Washington.

McAllister has been involved in leadership efforts at her high school and has a true passion for helping others. She plans to attend Eastern Washington University in the fall and hopes to become a nurse.
