Do Good Fest Raises $100K for Tarrant Area Food Bank

The National Life Group Do Good Fest broke records on Saturday, raising $100,000 for the Tarrant Area Food Bank’s Ready to Learn program that provides food to at risk children in North Texas.

The annual event, held at the Levitt Pavilion Arlington, makes music accessible to the community for a $10 donation that benefits a local charity. This year, the festival included music by Collective Soul, Tonic, and Fastball, and was opened by Zachary Lohman, a sophomore from L.D. Bell High School who was the National Life Group Beats for Good high school musician contest grand prize winner.

“National Life is a company with a soul,” said National Life Group Chairman, CEO, and President, Mehran Assadi. “Do Good Fest is one way we celebrate community by bringing people together through music. We’re not your average life insurance company. We’re one that rocks.”

Do Good Fest brought thousands of festival goers to the Levitt Pavilion to experience music, food trucks, a VIP Lounge and a vendor marketplace, all while contributing to one of National Life’s core causes: ending childhood hunger.

“We were honored to have been chosen as this year’s National Life Do Good Fest beneficiary,” said Tarrant Area Food Bank CEO, Julie Butner. “But to bring awareness and support to our Ready to Learn program in such an engaging and uplifting way through music and community far exceeded our expectations.”

This is the fourth year Do Good Fest has been hosted at the Levitt Pavilion Arlington, whose mission is to make music accessible to the community.

“National Life and the Levitt are aligned in our shared focus to bring people together by giving back,” explained Letatia Teykl, Executive Director of the Levitt Pavilion Arlington. “It’s powerful to see the good organizations can do when they come together.”
