Thai Meets Tchaikovsky

By Stacey Gualandi

Their work on behalf of the community is never done!

Sisters Roxy and Skai Jones and twin brothers Charles and Jun Hong just took their musical and fundraising talent on the road!

Their first stop: Weera Thai – Rainbow in Las Vegas.

This fierce foursome is the force behind Youth for Youth, a teen-led community effort—founded by Roxy—that raises money for underserved and homeless youth in Las Vegas.

Since 2022, they have raised more than $100,000 for local organizations, including the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada and the Forgotten Song Foundation.

After seeing the Joneses on a local Las Vegas news segment in December discussing their fourth annual Youth for Youth holiday concert, Weera Thai owner Sasi Phothidokmai wanted to salute their efforts with a special musical concert inside her restaurant.

Hosted by Patranya Media business owner Patranya Bhoolsuwan, these talented teens performed several classical pieces on piano and violin inside the picture-perfect bar. Then, Sasi presented a check for $2,000 to the Boys & Girls Club.

The five-star event, which packed in a crowd hungry for both Thai and Tchaikovsky (plus Chopin, Liszt and others), showcased Weera Thai’s ongoing commitment to recognizing local nonprofits and Youth for Youth’s selfless support of its community.
