Where: Patrick’s Gaslamp Pub
When: St. Patrick’s Day, Friday, March 17th 2023 from 4-7pm
The O’Briens at Porchlight brokered by eXp Realty will be sponsoring a fundraising event at Patrick’s Gaslamp Pub this St. Patrick’s Day! A sham-rockin’ good time for a great cause with live music by the immensely talented Trey Hill Trio.
This will be an opportunity to come celebrate St. Patrick’s good deeds by doing one yourself. SPREAD THE LUCK by donating at the door, then celebrate into the night with Mark O’Brien (who will also be celebrating his birthday) or if that idea troubles you, just drop in to drop off your donation and enjoy a complimentary house special.
The Charity
The This Time Tomorrow Foundation is a rare and unconditional foundation. All the funds they raise go towards their Random Acts of Kindness program where they surprise people fighting all types of cancer at their homes with monetary gifts when they have no idea they are coming, Publishers Clearing House-style. Contributing to This Time Tomorrow is a direct way to affect someone fighting cancer positively.
The inspiration for this foundation came from a song written in 2001 by my friend and founder of the foundation, Cory Zimmermann. The song chronicles the emotional path of Cory’s friend, who just found out that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, from disbelief through anger and ultimately hope. At the time of the song’s creation, it was used to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
In 2010, Cory was encouraged to start a foundation with the purpose of seeking out people suffering with cancer and providing them with assistance and hope. Teaming up with one of the Midwest’s premiere musicians and another good friend, Tony Goff, together they rallied musicians and celebrities from all over the nation to support this cause. Every year the foundation releases a new version of the title song by a new artist. This year, quadrupole platinum rock band Candlebox released their version of the song as the band’s latest single.
