"In the end, artists from CD Baby raised a total of $165,060 over the last 7 weeks, sent directly to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund through our local Portland Oregon branch. (You should have seen their faces when we brought in that very first check, in person, for $113,000!)"
Thanks again, Derek Sivers at CD Baby
P.S. We donated $40,000 of our own CD Baby money too, in case you were wondering. So - altogether, that's $165,060 from the artists, $40,000 from CD Baby = $205,060 donated. I hope it helps!

Nick entertaining at DVR Banquet 12/2003
|
Nick Baker with Pat Cashman at DVR Annual Conference 2003. Nick entertained the attendees before dinner at the Celebration and Awards Banquet 3rd and participated on a panel the next day. Conference title this year was "Imagine... No Limits".
Nick spoke on a panel of "disabled" individuals who spoke to the audience of DVR service providers and vocational counselors. The panelists described when they realized they had more abilities than disabilities, identified who or what inspired them to think differently about their abilities and when they embraced the responsibility to make "it" happen in their lives. They each closed with their version of "imagine a future with no limits" and described what that would look like in their world.
