Friends Of Tommy
“I have been quite fortunate to be a part of many fun and successful fundraising events in my life. However, I have deeply yearned to be a part of one that fully integrates the collective efforts of community and business in a culturally meaningful way. It is natural for me to support Multiple Sclerosis since I have several friends and a family member who suffer from MS, and I currently sit on the leadership board of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Regional Rio Grande Chapter.
Healing, Harmony & Heart encapsulates all the elements which make a deeply meaningful, inspiring, and authentic event. Working hand-in-hand with the Accelerated Cure Project and National Multiple Sclerosis Society, we are launching an annual fundraising event that I believe will appeal to the greater community that is inclusive and artistically significant. Additionally, we aim to raise a large sum of money and bring further awareness to Multiple Sclerosis.
How else could I achieve such an endeavor without great friends, family, supporters, and my other great love... jazz?
We can do this together!
Thank you very much in advance for all of your support.”
