John has long been searching for ways to Pay It Forward and help people in need since he has been so blessed in his life to not only do what he loves, but to reach people's hearts by doing what he loves....the universal language of music transcends all that divides and more than that, has the power to bring all walks of life together in one common spirit.

While there are many worthwhile causes, one that is near and dear to our hearts is The Carlos G. Baldoceda Memorial Fund (Carlos' Fund), which is dedicated to supporting young persons with a passion for music and to raising awareness and money to eradicate brain tumors. In 2003, Nicole's very good friend, Blanca, lost her little brother to a two year battle with a brain tumor. Not long after, Carlos' Fund was established to honor Carlos' life and encourage those with that same passion....because although his life was far too short, he lived life to its fullest and pursued every dream.

Please feel free to up this $1.00 donation (to anything from 1 to 1000 to ...) by clicking "add to cart", changing the "quantity", and then clicking "update cart" - whatever is within your reach to give! All proceeds will be forwarded to Carlos' Fund to further this cause. John will also be donating a portion of all proceeds from his CD Release Party to this very worthy cause!
