Fundraiser @ Kenny Loggins' Home

Last weekend Steve and I attended a fundraiser at the home of Kenny Loggins in Santa Barbara California. Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation raises funds needed to carry out their mission of providing financial and other assistance to families with a child diagnosed with cancer.  Teddy Bear works to ensure that children with cancer receive the undivided attention of their parents during the treatment and recovery process through financial aid an other helpful services.  Teddy Bear supports families by paying crucial bills (rent, mortgage, utilities) so a parent can be by their child's bedside.  Additional services include parent support groups, reading to children in the hospital, hotel accommodations, and family fun days - even assistance with funeral costs. 
If anyone is interested in helping in any way check out their website

If you've been living under a rock or just never watch movies or listen to music Kenny Loggins has been around for over the past three decades.  He is an extraordinary singer-songwriter and guitarist.  Some of you may remember him while he was with Jim Messina in 1972-1976.  Kenny has 12 albums that have gone platinum and beyoud.  In the 80's he became famous as the king of the movie theme songs, like "I'm Alright" (from Caddyshack) "Footloose" (from Footloose), "Danger Zone" (from Top Gun), and "Nobody's Fool" (from Caddyshack).
If you don't know Kenny Loggins music I highly recommend you download him onto your Pod and ENJOY!!
