“I’m really excited about the line-up we’ve got planned for this year’s show,” says David. “Last year was a huge success and we raised upwards of $3,000.00 for the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation. With everyone’s support we are hoping to surpass that amount in 2009.”
David intends to put on his Cathartic Release Musical Jam for years to come.
