Hello Friends, Clients and Colleagues, I was recently invited to submit a track for a compilation holiday CD. The CDs will be delivered to kids who will unfortunately spend the holidays in a hospital and not at home with their families. Below is a message from the CD producer and project sponsor, Jeff Gelder of GelderHead Productions, along with an excerpt from the press release with the details on this non-profit project.
Your small donation would send more CDs to the kids. Don’t worry if you don’t have time to read more about this neat project and the famous people involved (along with upstart little me!). You can cut to the chase and go directly to the donations page here: Holiday Magic CD Donations. Every $2.00 puts a CD in a child’s hands.
There’s no pressure to contribute if you can’t afford it, but if you want to nudge a friend who can afford it, please feel free to forward a link to this blog or to HolidayMagicCD.com. e.
Happy Holidays and all the best!

Seasons Greetings!
I would like to invite you to please consider an opportunity to help underwrite a holiday CD project for the children and their siblings at Children’s Hospital’s in San Diego, Orange County, New Orleans, Miami, Albuquerque, Houston and Milwaukee. All funds will go to producing copies of the CD and delivering them free of charge to Children’s Hospitals. (For corporate donations we are now able to offer a 501c3 tax deduction please inquire prior to making the donation)
Here are the details…
Through the generous donations of several singers and actors we have created the sixth annual compilation recording titled “Holiday Magic 2008…A Gift for Children of all Ages.” The tale is weaved by Jeffrey the surfer dude reindeer and Santa Claus as they make their way from the North Pole to visit the children. Two years ago they met Jeffrey’s cousin Carlito who lives at the San Diego Wild Animal Park! Then we met Kate the reindeer from Milwaukee and this year Jeffrey, Carlito and Kate will be joined by Rudolph, Donner and Blitzen when Santa gets a new sleigh complete with GPS!
The talent this year is once again remarkable and includes award winning singer and actress Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura from the Star Trek) and her voice actor sister Marian Michaels. Other performers who generously lent their talent to the CD are extraordinary vocalist and recording artist Peggy Lebo, Broadway singer Ashley Fox Linton, Voice Talent September Day Leach, singer, song writer Karl Anthony, and recording artists Beth Wernick, Jeff Davis, James Higgins, Erik Sheppard, Nikki Saco, Hector Navarro, Donna Reed, and many more.
The goal is to brighten the holidays for the sick children spending the season at Children’s Hospital and their siblings who often feel lonely due to the other child requiring more attention from the parents. Last year 1500 copies of the CD were delivered to Children’s and they were thrilled to have them and distribute them to their patients!
Our goal is to produce and deliver a minimum of 1500 copies this year, which will be delivered in December. Please consider donating $35 or as much as possible. No amount is too big or too small. Each $2.00 donation will get a CD to a child. Your gift is appreciated immensely!

Thanks Nikki! Your story of Spitty the Talking Reindeer is wonderful! I’ve seen grown adults belly laughing and being touched by it at the same time. Thank you so much for donating it to the kids! You have brought many smiles to some sick children this holiday season!
Warmly,
Jeff
