In 2022 Syracuse New York had the highest child poverty rate at 45.8%. Syracuse is also home to the great New York state fairgrounds which brought 932,699 people to the fairgrounds in 2023. 14,053 children are in poverty in Syracuse, New York as of 2023 statistics. We could assume most of these children could not afford a taylor swift ticket. With fair admission, this show would be free. This would also bring a lot of attraction to New york. Knowing that there were almost 1 million people at the fair in 2023, just imagine how many people would be there if taylor swift would come. And even though the concert is free, the state fair would also get a lot of money from admissions! Also, new york ranks 4th out of 30 for the highest number of yearly internet searches for taylor swift.

I have been reading every single comment about the struggles our children face here in Syracuse. It is heartbreaking to see how many families are left behind and I am currently working on a proposal to show why this event is more than just a concert for our community.

Seeing this grow makes me think of the kids in our city who need a reason to hope for something big. Your belief in this vision gives me the strength to push forward until those fairgrounds are packed with smiling faces.
