Lisa Hilton Music

Charity Info

I am very committed to supporting music programs for children and teens -- especially for those students who are blind, visually impaired, or with multiple handicaps. I will continue to work for organizations such as The Junior Blind of America, The Chicago Lighthouse For The Blind, The Perkins School For The Blind in Boston (Helen Keller’s alma mater), and others. Many musicians stop by our top jazz schools to inspire the best and the brightest, but I feel a strong desire to help those with the greatest need.

On the CD Sunny Day Theory, I have decided to try something new: dismayed by ongoing conflicts around the world and to honor of the spirit of the song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone? by Pete Seeger, I will be donating all 2008 proceeds of our arrangement of this track derived from digitally downloaded sales (iTunes, et al) to The Carter Center which was created in 1982 by former President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, in partnership with Emory University, to advance peace and health worldwide. www.CarterCenter.org This is a new idea to allow listeners to donate “musically” to a great organization, and I am looking forward to the response. (I am also intending to personally match the download donations that we receive to the extent that I am able to). Please help if you can. By purchasing this track on iTunes or other digital sources, purchasing this track and sending it to your friends and family members as additional purchases, (or just even just sharing this information with others), you will be donating to The Carter Center with funds matched by the artist. We have a unique chance at making a positive difference in a very musical way without any of the high costs involved with large benefit fundraisers.
