FEATURED ORGANIZATION FOR MARCH/APRIL 2009: "SWEET RELIEF"
Sweet Relief provides assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems. Music's most precious resource -- the artist -- sometimes needs protection. Established in 1994, Sweet Relief has helped preserve our most profound art by becoming music's most compassionate and generous charity. Chances are, we have touched the life of someone you know. Sweet Relief provides financial assistance to musicians of all kinds for medical expenses, alternative therapies, prescriptions, and living expenses if the artist is unable to work. Sweet Relief also provides grants for retired or semi-retired older musicians, which helps pay living expenses. For further information or to read eligibility criteria, please see How to Apply. Sweet Relief was founded by Victoria Williams, and is guided by a board of directors comprised of members of the music industry. It is funded by the music community and a variety of individual donors, as well as through benefit concerts, auctions and albums. When Victoria was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1992, she, like most musicians, had no health insurance to help defray the mounting cost of her illness. Consequently, she faced the possibility of not getting adequate treatment. to maintain her health. Her predicament did not go unnoticed however, and as word of her condition spread, the music community responded with an unprecedented flow of support. An impressive array of Victoria's friends and fans volunteered their talents and performed at benefit concerts in New York and Los Angeles. The concerts raised over $20,000 and inspired Williams' admirers to assemble the Sweet Relief album, which features fourteen versions of Victoria's compositions. Encouraged by the overwhelming support of the music community, Williams founded Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, to which a portion of the album's proceeds are donated. The fund was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and its first grants were paid out in late 1994. Since then, we have steadily helped support artists in need. The second Sweet Relief album (though the first to wholly benefit the Fund), Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation, The Songs of Vic Chesnutt, features performances by Garbage, R.E.M., Nanci Griffith and Hootie & the Blowfish, Soul Asylum, dog's eye view, LIVE, The Smashing Pumpkins and Red, Red, Meat, Sparklehorse, Joe Henry and Madonna, Kristen Hersh, Cracker, Indigo Girls, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Vic Chesnutt and Victoria Williams.

***FEATURED ORGANIZATION FOR FEB/MARCH 2009: ROCK AGAINST CHILD PORNOGRAPHY***

Help Us Spread The Word

WHO are we?! We are an awareness campaign group, simply put, we are the same as you only we are shouting out to make heard the silenced and silent topic of child pornography. The risk to children both in cyberspace and the real world from the evil of paedophiles and paedophilia in whatever form or context it may arise. WHAT are we doing? We are organising concerts, primarily within the Rock genre, to combine live performance with the strong message that any form of child abuse is not acceptable and that we demand changes that favour the victims of such crimes and more resources to be made available in the field of prevention. Through the medium of music, we can reach out to the thousands who want to see reform for our children in the modern world. HOW? do we do this? First of all we need a suitable venue, and then we seek sponsorship to cover any costs that may be incurred. We then invite bands to play in support of out cause, and waive all fees. They play beneath our banner, and spread the word to the crowds who turn up and enjoy a great night of live music. We contact all local media and invite them to attend the event, and also promote the event on local radio, thus making sure we reach as many people as possible with our message. WHY are we doing this? The concept was created in Germany in 2006 when a group of students became frustrated with continually reading horrific stories of abuse in the media and felt that they needed to do something active. So, these young and brilliant minds, spoke, planned, slept very little and after many hours of work, liaising and pulling teeth they pulled off their first Concert to raise awareness. It was a huge success and further concerts have now been help across Europe by our ever growing family of International Teams and more are in the planning stages! But we want to take this even further, and find likeminded people in all the countries who will set up…For more information go to www.myspace.com/rockagainstchildporno

***FEATURED ORGANIZATION FOR AUGUST 2008: CURE DIABETES***
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

In honor of my family (Diabetes runs in my family), Stephanie Rios & her mom, I decided to FEATURE a site that focuses on Diabetes for the month of August. I was looking for a site on myspace that would share valuable information, and I found Kristen's site "CURE DIABETES" & her dedication to the cause informative & beyond commendable!!! Why did Kristen create this site? Kristen says: "In 2004 my older brother Rob was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 26. Since that day I wanted to learn more and more about diabetes and find out how I could help find a cure for my brother and everyone else diagnosed! I knew myspace was a great site for networking and spreading great information. My page is entirely dedicated to supplying information for people who are newly diagnosed, families of diagnosed and anyone else trying to find a cure. Just by reading through the Cure Diabetes page you can learn a great deal. If I can help one person that comes to my page then all my efforts are worth while. I donate money to both the JDRF (juvenile diabetes research foundation) and the ADA (american diabetes association). The JDRF puts 100% of their money to reasearching for a cure. I also put together a walk team with the JDRF each fall and raise money towards a cure. Both sites offer great ways to get involved and help make a difference. Being a teacher and watching my young students being diagnosed at a rapid rate just breaks my heart. We are so close to finding a cure. And it takes just one person to help make a difference, that is what I am trying to do." For more information, go to "CURE DIABETES" see my top friends.

These donations will allow less fortunate people the means to feed themselves, and build better communities together in countries like Peru, Rwanda, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Nepal and many others globally. Heifer's mission is to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. They do that by working with communities. Heifer provides families with training and a livestock gift which gives them a sustainable source of food and income rather than a short term fix. Families are also provided training in farming and community development. The family then has hope for a sustainable future and they in turn become donors by passing on the gift of the animal's offspring to another family in need.


***FEATURED ORGANIZATION FEBRUARY 2008: Peace Thru Music ***
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

About Peace Thru Music MISSION: Peace Thru Music is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children by providing access to music education, music appreciation, and musical instruments. WHY WE CARE: The power of music to touch the soul, inspire the mind, and soothe the body is unparalleled. It is directly linked to academic achievement, and its power to inspire is legendary. Every generation throughout history has found a way to create music and has reconized its great impact. In many schools and communities throughout the United States, and indeed throughout the world, the teaching of music has been deemed a luxury which they cannot afford. Schools have been forced to cut music programs, thereby putting it "out of reach" for millions of children. Music helps improve language skills, math skills, social skills, and self-esteem in our children. Thought processes and creativity levels are enhanced when music is implemented into a child's life. Learning to play an instrument sets the tone for accomplishment and responsibility. Music opens up the mind in the form of expresion and improves listening skills. Our children need music. WHAT WE DO AND HOW: Peace Thru Music partners with school districts, communities, Boys and Girls Clubs, other nonprofits, and similar organizations to identify their needs. We obtain the resources necessary to provide the children in these programs with musical instruments and music education. This includes, but is not limited to: - Assistance in the development of a local Visual and Performing Arts Center - Scholarship funds - Resources to build orchestras and bands - Music mentors from local colleges, high schools, and community music programs - Network of support from professional musicians, and other caring individuals - Development of music education materials - After-school programs - Tools for conflict resolution Funding to fulfill our mission is obtained by utilizing: - Private donations - Grants - Corporate sponsorships - Fundraisers, music events, and auctions - Merchandise sales If you would like to learn more about Peace Thru Music and what it can do for you, or how you can help, please email us. We would love to hear from you!

"WE ARE CRAYONS IN THE BOX, DIFFERENT COLORS, BUT ALL MADE THE SAME, FOR ONE PURPOSE, TO COLOR THE PICTURE..."-From the song "CRAYONS" by Denise Vasquez


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



Founder Denise Vasquez says "TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! I feel WE ALL have a purpose in this life! As an artist, I truly believe that my gifts as an artist are only part of my purpose and everything I have experienced has led me to become the woman I am today.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



Years ago, I worked at "Camp Lee Mar" (in Lackawaxen, PA), a summer camp for children who had Autism, Down Syndrome and more...these children were seen as being "Handicapped" I saw them as my teachers...They taught me soooo much!!! Aside from my mom, these children were my best teachers! I believe that is their purpose...they are here to teach us!!! They taught me patience, appreciation, understanding and I personally believe that many autistic children are borderline genuis...their minds move so quickly, and their hearts are sooo open! They may not speak our language well, but some of the things I saw these children do & create artistically were pretty spectacular...talk about inspiration!!! I myself have had some obstacles in my life and I feel many of the obstacles I have gotten through are also a part of a my purpose. Through my personal experiences, I've gained courage and also the strength I need to help others who now experience the same challenges.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



In the past I have volunteered my time to create, produce, host, promote & perform in 10+ hour music festivals (LADIES NIGHT MUSIC FESTIVAL, LADIES IN THE COURTYARD, SOCIAL BUTTERFLY NIGHT, WOMEN WITH A CAUSE...so far 8 successful festivals & more to come). With the help of my sponsors and fellow Artists with a cause, our community helped bring awareness to organizations like THE RED CROSS, OVARIANCANCER.ORG, GREENPEACE, HEPC, THE WISH & more. I also wrote a One AcT play which was presented, and received rave reviews at "The St. John School Of The Arts" called "SISTERHOOD" which is about female gangs. If you are an artist interested in performing, a sponsor interested in being a part of an event, a venue interested in hosting an event, an organization who needs to be recognized, message me. If you are someone who wants to be the change, please send us a friends request & help spread the word about the cause.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



What inspired me to create these events??? Without going to deeply into everything right now...I'm thinking about writing a book- My Life...Art and Music, being a strong woman, and having a strong foundation around me, saved my life, my entire life, leading me to where I am today! i left home at 17 years of age and have been working and traveling since! I lived in Scotland, London, New York City, The Virgin Islands and now Los Angeles. I've always been really good at acting, dancing, singing, playing music, casting, producing & promoting and always enjoyed working behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera... When I moved to The Virgin Islands, amongst many things lacking in paradise, I noticed the lack of female performers on the music scene, and there were too many amazing female performers not being given the chance to showcase their talents. I also noticed a lack of support with certain schools, and lack of awareness for people in need. I came up with an idea that would help bring awareness, that would showcase great unknown talent, and a way to donate proceeds to help those in need, and bring the community together. It took some convincing, but I managed to convince my boss at the time to loan me his bar/restaurant which is on the beach for the night as an audition to my idea & I guaranteed he would not regret it...


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



The first event took me a few of months to plan as I was volunteering my time and was doing everything on my own. With careful planning, For This first event I organized 6 hours straight of music. I went around and found businesses to sponsor the event, found an amazing sound man, equipment, I invited talented female artists who I heard jamming at parties and I searched for one unknown artist, someone that no one had any idea that she was a performer & I found her...the first unknown I am so happy I discovered to date, her name is Rebecca...she is one of the most mesmerizing voices I've ever heard!!! She was terrified, but I held her hand and had her close her eyes, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the angel sang & WOW!!!! The entire event went off really well, people wanted more, it was praised by the press & so I was asked to do another one.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



The next event I decided to bring awareness to a different cause, and I featured more unknown female artists that now came to me from different islands waiting to be discovered. With more artists on the bill, the event grew to 10 hours. It was amazing to watch the event grow...PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER...All ages, all races, men & women, from many islands listening from their boats, camping out on the beach, hanging out in the trees, just to experience the music, the love, purpose, COMMUNITY...I can't even find the words to describe the energy, but the second event drew hundreds of people & it was unlike anything anyone on that small 9 mile long, 2 mile wide island had ever seen! Not to mention I was organizing these events on my own...I was part of something way bigger than me!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



Due to the fact that the event was growing each time we had one, I had to move locations after the third on the Beach. I began moving the event to different locations each time we had one which helped the businesses as well! By the time I left the islands, I had organized 6 very successful "Ladies Night Music Festivals". When I moved to Los Angeles, I organized a Social Butterfly Night to see what it would be like here. I was immediately inspired having artists like Cassie Burns, Kat Lague & Sarah Cloud on the bill!!! I organized another event called "WOMEN WITH A CAUSE" on a larger scale- 26 musical artists, 10 comedians, 10+ hours...artists, sponsors, music, laughter, for a cause...it was amazing!!! So now that calling continues..."
