DONATE LIFE CONCERT FEATURING VERTICAL HORIZON AND SUGAR RAY

Photo's from this morning's Donate Life Concert featuring Vertical Horizon and Sugar Ray will be posted soon. There was a great turn out including nurses from several of our area hospitals. Sugary Ray band members upon learning that Donate Life California was in the house, whipped out their driver's license to show us their pink dot!

Terrific coverage of the event by KTLA Channel 5 and 104.3 MyFM. Thank you Sam Ruben and Valentine for all your words of support and encouragement.
