My mission is to be of service, to improve our world, and help those who cannot help themselves. Consequently, the majority of my performances are tied to some charity, such as those advocating for the homeless, people with special needs, and neglected and abused children. As I've stated many times. My gift is not about me or for me. It is about who can be helped with it. Below are some of the many organizations that are special to me . I urge you to get involved in any way you are able. MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

AMDA (Acid Maltase Difficiency Association)
|
My incredible cousin, Tiffany House, has amazed the medical establishment with her tenacity in her lifelong fight with Pompe's Disease. Her parent began the Acid Maltase Dificiency Association (AMDA) in 1995 when she was young and now she is president having not only graduated college but also law school. Please help her help to stamp out this dreadful disease! |

Abused and Neglected Children |
|
Helping disadvantaged children is a special interest of my wife, Julie. CASA is a volunteer organization of court appointed special advocates giving a voice to abused and neglected children in the court system. Please volunteer or donate to save children's lives. The national organization is the link below. You can go there to find an office in your area. |

Haven For Hope & SAMMinnistries

I've done and continue to do benefit concerts for the homeless. Homelessness has reached into all of our lives. Haven of Hope is transforming lives with its partners like SAMMinistries. Please get behind both organizations and put a roof over our friends. |

Artists and special needs |
Hill Country Council for the Arts (HCCarts)
|
HCCARTS with Sharon
Benedict’s oversight, is in the process of setting up an arts fund award
program for artists with disabilities. It will be
rolled out later in 2010. Having been disabled when I lost my voice in 1995, I can identify with those facing challenges in persuing their craft. Contact Sharon Benedict at development@hccarts.org for more details
about this program. Also get behind all the other wonderful programs for the arts that the Hill Country Council is supporting.
