MISSION STATEMENT
I
was raised in a very poor
household. Our food and
toys (if any), came from the
local Firemen, the Goodfellows,
and the Salvation Army. At
a very young age I learned what
it’s like to be hungry and what
it feels like to wear
hand-me-down clothes.
That’s a feeling I’d like to
spare every young person and all
of their family members from
experiencing.
As
an adult, I have been blessed
with such a wonderful family and
a great business of my own, that
I’ve been able to give back,
pretty regularly.
The “HOLY KNIGHT” CD was born
out of years and years of
friends and family asking, “When
are you going to record
something we can listen to
again?” Well I no longer
needed the money from residuals
or performing,
and I’m definitely too old to be
a “ROCK STAR”, so I selected
some of my favorite Christmas
songs and decided to do it for
all my family members, my
friends, all my old fans (both
of them!), everyone I love, and
donate every penny from the CD
to charity.
I
have been involved with C.S.
Mott Children’s Hospital for
about six years now, and it
opened my eyes to another whole
new world of priorities. Mike
Bradley, (105.1 The Magic
Morning Show), a friend of mine
from high school, got me
involved in the “Toys for Tots”
program, and helped us raise a
lot of money for the kids and
their families. My hope is to
get a lot more radio
personalities and their Program
Directors on board to let us
help them raise money for their
charities. I am covering all
expenses for the recording
sessions and the cost of the
CD’s, out of pocket. Every
penny from the CD’s will go to
the charities.
You would
think all the radio stations would jump at a chance like
this, but after all the hard work Kurt, Webmaster,
Brother-in-Law, Wifey, John, Rickster, Billy and I do, I
still feel like it’s not quite enough. I sell the CD’s
for $5.00 each at all the live shows and $7.00 by mail,
(to cover shipping & packaging charges).
(If you
have any suggestions, please
post them on the
Contact
page.)
Thank you and GOD BLESS
Arlen
