A Sincere Thank You
I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the overwhelming support for this year's Toys for Tots fundraiser. I'd say this photo speaks for itself:
Thank you to Sabrina's Education Station for sponsoring the event, to all the restaurants that donated food to feed those in attendance, and to Sean Faust, Jason Gecek and Nicole Cappiello for joining me! I can say, without a doubt, this *will* be an annual event (and I can't wait to see how we up the ante in 2012)!
I'd like to take this time to wish you and your families a very healthy and happy holiday season! I thank you for your endless support of my music, and look forward to bringing you a boatload of new music in 2012!
