Over the years, I have donated my time, music and original artwork to numerous charities and foundations to help raise awareness and inspire charitable donations. My original songs have raised awareness around the world, including  "Let The Bells Ring Out This Christmas" which in 2017 helped raise awareness for Dame Vera Lynn's Children's Charity in England and also helped raise $10,000 for McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton during their Holiday Teddy Bear Hug Campaign. I continue to donate my time, music and artwork and truly enjoy giving back to the community. I was honored when my philanthropic efforts were recognized in 2006 with an Athena Award nomination and again in 2010 and 2012 with a Citizen Of The Year nomination. my original song "We Walk All Night Long" has helped raise awareness for "The Relay For LIfe" and been performed in The United States as well as across Canada at Relay Event.
