Buchanan Street Partners, a national real estate investment manager and advisor, raised $150,000 for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation during its second annual “Encore for Education” charity concert, held June 12 at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. The fundraiser featured an exclusive performance by Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a guitar signed by the band was auctioned off for $10,500. All proceeds will benefit music programs at five schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District and provide more than 3,000 children with musical instruments.

Attended by more than 1,000 real estate professionals, the event was sponsored by Arden Realty, Bixby Land Co., Buchanan Street Partners and The TCW Group. Each sponsor received an additional guitar signed by the band.
