About Six Volt:
Six Volt, from Red Bank, New Jersey, is a band that is young, fresh and talented. The band plays and records all of their own music, every note. They have just finished their first EP and are looking to tour throughout 2010 and beyond. The band gives 5% of all of their income to charity.
About the T.J. Martell Foundation:
It began with a promise from a father to his dying son. In 1973, a high school student named T.J. Martell was battling leukemia. He asked his father, music industry executive Tony Martell, to raise a million dollars for cancer research so that “no one else will have to experience what I am going through.” Although he had no fundraising experience, Tony agreed. Two years later, T.J. died at the age of nineteen, and as Tony explains today, “that put my promise in cement.” Soon after, Tony was joined by many of his musician friends like Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington to hold a fundraiser at Buddy Rich’s nightclub in New York. They raised $50,000 and the T.J. Martell Foundation was born. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have worked passionately to help raise more than $240 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. We are proud of our long history and our reputation for innovation in fundraising and the research we support. The Foundation is headquartered in New York with divisions in Nashville covering the southeast and in Los Angeles covering the west coast.
About T.J. Martell Family Day:
Family Day is an exciting event that brings together families from many different industries, along with a “who’s who” of music and entertainment executives and celebrities. Families enjoy a day of fun in a carnival-type atmosphere with carnival games, moon bounce, video games, face painting, gourmet food and beverage and much more! Now in its eleventh year, the event has steadily grown into one of the Martell Foundation’s most successful and popular events and raising over $2.6 million since its inception.
