White Album for Purple Songs event raises $10,000 for Texas Children’s program

Love Street Light Circus is pleased to announce that as a result of the successful White Album for Purple Songs event, it will be making a $10,000 donation to the Purple Songs Can Fly Project at Texas Children’s Cancer Center.   We encourage you to to learn more about this unique and wonderful program and support it however you can.

The success of the event is no doubt due in part to the wide appeal of the Beatles’music.  But it also owes a tremendous amount to a wide range of people.  First of course are the musicians who put countless hours into preparing a musical performance that many said was impossible.  Thanks also go to honorees Mayor Bill White and David Adickes, whose participation helped legitimize a fledgling nonprofit.  Our Savoy Truffle participating restaurants donated the fabulous food that helped make it a first class event.  Artist Don Bertram displayed dozens of works of original art, the proceeds of which went directly to the bottom line.  Anita Kruse of Purple Songs Can Fly and Carol Herron of Texas Children’s Cancer Center provided consistent support.  Lacking any staff, the Love Street board formed the core of the volunteer effort, putting in tremendous time to make the event happen.  And finally, special recognition for the performance goes to Johnny Ono, whose persistance got the project off the ground, and Dave Blassingame, whose tireless work and tremendous talent helped bring it all together.
