2018 EVERYBODY HAS A STORY® GENERATES RECORD-SETTING FUNDS FOR MICHIANA PERFORMING AND ADAPTIVE ARTS COMMUNITY
2018 Everybody Has A Story, Curtis Lord & Friends generated a record-setting fundraiser for 2018’s beneficiary Michiana Performing and Adaptive Arts Community of South Bend, Indiana. The variety show contributes its net proceeds to nonprofits throughout the Michiana area, and this years funding will be used to expand and enhance MPAAAC's existing programs.
“We work hard to make Curtis Lord and Friends a premier event — attracting top local musicians and storytellers, hundreds of dedicated fans and, ultimately, raising a significant amount of money for so many worthy causes,” said C.R. Heckaman, Director and Co-Founder of Everybody Has A Story. “Congratulations to our 2018 beneficiary, Jetta Cruse, for shining a spotlight on those with cognitive and physical challenges who are underrepresented in the performing arts. We’re grateful for everyone’s support in helping to make this another unforgettable South Bend original production.”
