Writers Block, Ink has been selected by multi-platinum singer-songwriter Josh Groban to receive a donation from his new Find Your Light Foundation, which is dedicated to enriching the lives of young people through arts, education and cultural awareness.

"We are very excited for this wonderful opportunity for our students. With the support of Mr. Groban and his foundation, we will be able to continue to offer performing arts programs for youth and fulfill our mission of igniting social change on the page and stage," said Lisa Giordano, program director for Writers Block, Ink.

While Groban tours the U.S. on his "Straight to You" tour, his Find Your Light Foundation will make a cash donation to a nonprofit arts education organization that operates in each locale in which the tour stops.

Groban will perform at the Mohegan Sun Arena on July 30.
