Voices for Children Auxiliary Group, Makua, Releases “Voices from the Heart,” CD Featuring Local Musicians, with Proceeds Benefitting San Diego Foster Children

  • December 2, 2011
  • Voices For Children
(December 2, 2011) San Diego, CA Voices for Children, has taken their outreach efforts to a new level with the creation of a recording of original music by San Diego-based musicians. Proceeds of all CD sales will benefit Voices for Children (VFC), the only nonprofit organization that trains volunteers to be Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), working on behalf of children in San Diego’s foster care system.Titled “Voices from the Heart,” the compilation CD release party will take place on Saturday,. The event December 17 from noon-2 p.m. at San Diego Harley-Davidson in Kearny Mesa features a free BBQ, and a performance by the Lacy Younger Band and other artists on the CD.  The event marks the official call for submissions for the second CD in the series. Artists will be able to submit their original recordings for Volume 2 through the Makua website.This project was the brainchild of singer-songwriter Lacy Younger, whose 2007 hit, “Something You Do,” remained on the U.S. Top 40 chart for 12 weeks. Lacy became a supporter of Makua after she performed at the group’s 2008 fundraiser. Inspired by the passion and spirit of the Makua members, Lacy decided to join their endeavor to raise funds for and increase awareness of Voices for Children.The artists on “Voices from the Heart,” Volume 1 of a planned series of compilation CDs, were selected from a call for submissions, gathered from November 2010 through May 2011. The professionally mastered CD features 11 artists, whose musical genres range from alternative to pop, rock, country and reggae. The 12-track CD is $13, and available for purchase through the Voices for Children and Makua websites. All proceeds benefit the CASA Program at VFC.
