Second Annual Siblings Day Benefit
SIBLINGS DAY FOUNDATION
Siblings Day, a commemorative day to be celebrated on April 10th, was founded by Claudia A. Evart. The purpose of Siblings Day, is to set aside a day to honor our brothers and sisters who are living and memorialize those who have died. Our primary goal of Siblings Day Foundation, Inc. is to establish and promote April 10 as a national day of recognition for brothers and sisters. In so doing, our mission helps to strengthen our families, our communities and our country.
Siblings
Day gives us an opportunity to let our brothers and sisters know we love and
appreciate them. Once we have achieved our initial objective, the universal
observance and celebration of Siblings Day, we will increase awareness of the
day with an annual "Outstanding Brothers and Sisters Awards". Additionally,
Siblings day Foundation, Inc. intends to become a national resource call-in
center on the issues of sibling bereavement and will be an information
referral center for family support groups in your community.
On September 25, 2002, Jazz Pianist & Vocalist Rick DellaRatta was invited to lead a band consisting of: 'Israeli, Middle Eastern, European, Asian & American' Jazz musicians in a concert inside the United Nations, for an international audience.Rick named this band:
"Jazz For Peace™"
Jazz for Peace's mission is to help advance people to
their highest potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading
peace through our "Jazz For Peace™ Concerts" worldwide - joining forces (or
performing) with multi-cultural musicians to spread peace through the artform of
Jazz and entering regions that are politically controversial. By the means of
live concerts, video taping, on hands/ on-line teaching as well as supplying
musical instruments to under-privileged children in under developed areas
worldwide, Jazz for Peace will re-enforce what past history has proven - that
the art form of Jazz has the ability to create a positive effect that unites
people and may eventually start to transform the barriers and issues of
different cultures and beliefs.

Quotes:
"Rick DellaRatta is one of the finest Jazz pianists alive."
--Savannah Times
"It is actually the quality of DellaRatta's voice that
grows on me more & more with repeated listenings. At first I felt that
Rick's strengths as a pianist were foremost, but with time I have come to
understand that Dellaratta's skill as a vocalist is not to be
underestimated."His voice has quite a haunting quality to it, being slightly
androgenous in tone, sometimes ghostly.... sometimes sexy. "

show."
