Our 2010-2011 school year seemed to be our busiest school year

concerts at local venues, continued to participate in student music
evaluations, the rock bands recorded their demo in a world-class
recording studio and the rock bands and select students performed
LIVE at the TD Bank Somerset Patriots Base Ball Stadium in

Music Notes Kares For Kids
Bridgewater, NJ --- On October, 6, 2010 Music Notes Academy donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) on behalf of
Andrea Juranis and Jay Juranis, who are raising money and awareness for a family in need.
As a family they have decided to take up this fight to help a precious little boy Justin who was just diagnosed with a really rare type
of Leukemia. As parents they realized how precious children are and the joy they bring everyday. In helping fight this terrible disease
they, among others, are supporting the October 16th Light the Night Walk.
Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's evening walk and fund raising event. It is the nation's night to pay
tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost. The Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and
treatments for other types of cancer, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells
without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life. In fact, in 2009 alone, LLS
researchers were conducting more than 90 clinical trials, a critical step in the development of new treatments and cures that will help
patients live better, longer lives.
“The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer
research, education and patient services. LLS's mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the
quality of life of patients and their families. Since the first funding in 1954, LLS has awarded more than $680 million in research
funding.” - The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) - www.leukemia-lymphoma.org
