At exactly 10:11am, January 8, 2011, life in Tucson changed forever for all of us, but especially for nineteen individuals, six of which lost their lives. This tragic event presented an opportunity for the people of Tucson to pull together and show the world our true colors and how beautiful our community is. It also presented an opportunity for individuals like Congresswoman Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords to demonstrate her strength and determination to survive in this world. January 8th will always be a day we will remember those that lost their lives and suffered from the Tucson Tragedy, but it will also be a day to remember why we are Tucsonans and what makes Tucson home for all of us.
As you may know, Music Against Violence + Fort Lowell Records partnered together to provide the world an opportunity to help out those affected by the Tucson Tragedy. Luz de Vida is a compilation record that was put together to raise money to help the victims and families. Thanks to the many sponsors that provided funding to pay for all manufacturing costs, 100% of the money raise from all sales of Luz de Vida goes to the Tucson Together Fund. In turn, the money will go direct to those in need to help reimburse lost wages, pay for doctor bills, and provide the long term support required for the years to come.
We are asking for you to donate $20.00 to the cause, and in exchange we will mail you a vinyl copy of Luz de Vida. You can also show support by purchasing a digital copy of Luz de Vida from iTunes or Amazon for only $10.00. Either way, the victims and families will receive 100% of your contributions. In exchange for your support, you will receive an amazing record featuring some of the greatest artists from Tucson, and others that hold a special place for Tucson in their hearts. You can learn more about Luz de Vida on the Music Against Violence website.
Luz de Vida is available direct from this website, as well as in many stores in Tucson and Phoenix, AZ. Please review the column on the right side of this page for more information to purchase.
Thank you.
Fort Lowell Records
