Our efforts with Lymphoma Society (LLS) have been recognized by another great national organization! It was just announced that we won a Communitas Award for our “This Time Tomorrow” music video in the 2010 Communitas Awards contest. The video, to benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), features a collaboration of Milwaukee-area musicians.

Communitas Awards recognizes exceptional businesses, organizations and individuals that are unselfishly giving of themselves and their resources, and those that are changing how they do business to benefit their communities.

This Time Tomorrow won the award in category 3.1 Pro Bono. The winning video can be viewed at ThisTimeTomorrow.org and the song is available for $.99 download at iTunes with all proceeds going to LLS.

This Time Tomorrow has once again proven to been inspiring to everyone involved. We hope you enjoy this music video, and also hope you’ll be inspired to buy the song and attend the benefit concert we’re putting on.

We’ve been busy… very busy! This Time Tomorrow is keeping us busy, and it’s for a good cause.

For a bit of history on the This Time Tomorrow project, here’s an explanation in Cory Zimmermann’s own words:

In 2001, Dick Ticcioni and I were working together at an advertising agency when he was diagnosed with Lymphoma following a hernia examination. Though Dick remained positive, I was devastated that I couldn’t do more to help him through his difficult time. It was the bitterest inspiration I’ve ever received, but it gave me an idea for a song, which I recorded that night in my home studio despite a 102-degree fever. I would become the first of many motivated by Dick’s courage.

While you’re there, find out about some of the events we’re planning to raise money for the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, including Cause-Mo Fridays, which happen every Friday at our office through May 14, 2010, as well as a big benefit concert for LLS on May 7th, 2010… details will follow, but we’re all pretty excited about the line-up we’ve got planned so far.

It’s been amazing to see this project take form in the last few weeks, and we’ve really been touched by people getting involved and helping out in any way they can. It really does give great home for the future.
