about us

We are the University of Virginia's only philanthropic a cappella group, founded in 2015 by a group of girls who wanted to combine life's two greatest missions: fun and service!

Our mission

       The AcHOOstics are a community built on the belief that music can bring people together and create meaningful change. As a philanthropic a cappella group, our mission is to combine our passion for music with our commitment to service, using performance as a way to uplift, connect, and give back to our community.
​
       Every semester, we organize multiple fundraising events in which the proceeds benefit the organization of our choosing for that academic year. We work closely with these community organizations as supporters and volunteers, and we are grateful to be able to help the Charlottesville community in this way. Thanks to the UVA Parents Fund, we are able to continue our support of the community while pursuing our endeavors in music. 

 Additionally, a substantial portion of our proceeds from our semesterly concerts go towards the organization of our choosing.
 Through every rehearsal, performance, and service initiative, we strive to support important causes and create an environment where friendship, compassion, and artistry can thrive together. Check out the "Charities & Donors" section to learn more about which organizations we have supported in our journey!
