"SINGERS, MUSICIANS, COMEDIAN & STORYTELLING ARTIST'S CALL TO ACTION"
My name is Laura Corlin and I am a 16 year old, independent recording artist from the New Hampshire. I am sending out a "CALL TO ACTION" to all performance artists who would be interested in sharing their voice, music, storytelling and comedy with young hospital patients, living with life-threatening diseases, so that they may have something to listen to during their treatment periods. The project is called "The Difference Music Makes." (Copy and paste this link and check out the audio at http://www.cdbaby.com/corlin ) Already, I am so excited to say that world renowned performers, such as Guitarist Ed Gerhard, Composer Tim Janis, Singers Carol King and Kenny Loggins supported this program! And I want more!! I want to take a huge selection of CD's from performers across the country! I want to provide music for both the young and older kids to enjoy. I am hoping to present the kids with a music package of many CD's, not just my own. Please remember, NO CONTRIBUTION OF CD's IS TOO SMALL! If you can send a minimum of 2 copies of your CD, 20 or 200 you can help!! Please send only new and un-used CD’s as the Children’s Hospitals cannot accept donations of used items.
For my own contribution to the program, I have independently produced and recorded my first CD, a collection of children’s favorites. The first facility I chose to benefit from this program was the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. I donated 500 compact discs to the patients there and am selling the remaining 500 to raise funds for medical research or life-threatening pediatric diseases. During my road trip and live performance at the hospital last September, I delivered over $18,000 worth of music CDs, CD players and medical research contributions. There are many reasons why I chose St. Jude to be the first recipient of my service project. Not only is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital the number one children's hospital, in the world, but it is renowned for the survival rates for it's patients and no child is EVER turned away from treatment if the family cannot pay! And now the project is expanding to providing music for Children’s Hospitals in my home state of New Hampshire!! VOLUME II, in my CD series The Difference Music Makes is in pre-production and I will deliver 250 more copies to the St. Jude Hospital and 250 copies to the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock in New Hampshire. I would be happy to bring you music along with me. Eventually, I dream of taking this project to the national network of children’s hospitals in the United States.
Any Artist wishing to contribute Music, Comedy or Storytelling CD donations may do so by contacting The StarMight Foundation directly by e-mail at starmightfoundation@hotmail.com, by telephone at 603-664-9983, by going to The StarMight Foundation web-site www.starmightfoundation.org , or by shipping all Compact Disc's Contributions directly to:
The StarMight Foundation - 67 Spruce Pond Drive - Strafford, NH 03884
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter and I hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely and Gratefully Yours,
Laura Corlin, Founder of The Difference Music Makes http://www.starmightfoundation.org/differencemusicmakes.
