Events and Other News

On May 22nd, 2010, in Santa Monica, CA, we were honored to have country artist Nathan Osmond sing the 21,000th Song of Love for Kylie Becker of Moreno Valley, CA. Check out the song here!












On July 1st, 2010, we had our Big Bang/Songs of Love Gala Night at Big Bang’s 4 locations throughout the United States. Big Bang, a dueling piano bar, hosted the event, which culminated with World Champion Wrestling Star and country music artist Mickie James, Songs of Love Founder John Beltzer and Big Bang performer Geoff Smith leading the crowds of all four clubs via simulcast in a sing-along of their Song of Love for Sara Givens, an 11-year-old from Hendersenville, TN. The Big Bang Bar Corporation collectively raised $10,000 for the Songs of Love Foundation. Check out the event and Sara’s Song of Love here!







Also on July 1st, Jessica Lawdan, a senior at Vernon Hills High School, organized a benefit concert for Songs of Love! Through the event, she managed to raise $1,000 for the foundation. The idea for the benefit began when Jessica and a friend had the idea to get some locals bands together to put on a show for a fine arts charity. Luckily for us, they came across Songs of Love in their search for a charity! We are truly touched by the amazing gesture – thank you, Jessica!








Finally, oncologist Dr. Jacob Wessler and his patient Ashton Ebert decided it was a MUST to turn Ashton's "song of love" into a music video. The entire Oncology staff at the hospital got involved in the making of the video - the filming started back in January! The song was written and performed by Songs of Love writer Greg Ellis. Check out the awesome video here!
