A 50th Birthday Celebration to Support the This Time Tomorrow Foundation!!!
Where: The Nautilus Room – Coronado, CA
When: Saturday, March 15th 2023 from 6-10pm
The O’Briens at Porchlight brokered by eXp Realty will once again be throwing a fundraising event to celebrate Mark O’Brien’s birthday and support the This Time Tomorrow Foundation! A sham-rockin’ good time for a great cause!
The party will kick off with an open bar, a rousing toast to celebrate those that graciously donated, a touching musical performance by close friends of the charity followed by a three course Irish-themed dinner and then dance the night away with a high energy performance by The Dreamboats.
(“If you took the charisma of the Beatles, combined with the fresh beats of the fictional band the Wonders from the 1996 Tom Hanks hit film “That Thing You Do,” threw in some attitude from Dion and the Belmonts and pour in a whole lotta pop hooks from Weezer, you’d have the blistering vintage, yet contemporary sound of Canadian rockers the Dreamboats. ” – AXS.com)
Your donation will bring an opportunity to celebrate St. Patrick’s good deeds by doing one yourself. “SHARE THE LUCK” with your donation and then celebrate into the night with Mark O’Brien, who will be celebrating his 50th birthday!
*Entry to the event will require a $100 donation to the This Time Tomorrow Foundation with 100% of your generosity going directly to the charity. Look for your official invite with donation instructions around the holidays. The event will sell out so be prepared to act fast!
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 with monetary gifts just when they need them most. 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 our 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. Quadrupole platinum rock band Candlebox recently released their own version of the song to much acclaim.

Mark O’Brien will make this swim in just his trunks on the morning of March 15th, 2025 where water temperature average about 60 degrees. CAN HE DO IT? MAKE A PLEDGE AND WE’LL FIND OUT!
