On Wednesday, Nov 3rd, I have the honor of appearing at the NJPAC in Newark for the 8th annual Concert for Kids to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey. The concert, which will be my only New York area appearance this year, will be hosted by Jersey’s own, Joe Piscopo, the former Saturday Night Live comedian and entertainer, who is the volunteer spokesperson for Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey.

I know Joe well---very funny guy--- and his dedication to his beloved Boys and Girls Club of New Jersey (serving over 120 thousand kids) is phenomenal. So my foundation, the MBC, has donated a block of seats for 20 plus kids...and I have made my personal donation as well.


I am asking you here to support this amazing event. There is no contribution too small, and for those of you most awesome fans who wish to help—tickets are still available as are sponsorships. Individual tickets can be purchased at the NJPAC box office at 1-888-GONJPAC or online at www.njpac.org. For more information on the Concert for Kids, visit www.bgcnj.org or call 201-882-3812. Sponsorships are also available and include a reception and the show.


So come on Wednesday night and lend a hand to an amazing organization that assist youth achieve their full potential!! This year’s focus is especially important- as the funds raised through the concert are distributed to each local Boys & Girls Club in New Jersey to support their Fund-A-Dream Program. Clubs identify dreamers and, in addition to providing emotional support and encouragement, they will provide what is often the last barrier, financial assistance. Through this program, Boys & Girls Clubs are able to cultivate and support a special talent or interest and, in so doing, encourage a young person to aim for heights previously thought unattainable.


A dream can be as simple as wanting to learn how to swim at summer camp, or as grand as wanting to attend Juilliard. Dreams may include striving to become the first college graduate in one's family, or hoping to attend an elite training program in dance or music. Realized dreams are a powerful tool in building self esteem. They create entrepreneurs with innovative ideas, teachers with the power to influence students, and artists with the ability to portray beauty through expression. So, come on, see a great show and help a child’s dream come true!

The same day, just a few hours before I will also do something for children in Germany. That day I will advise kindergartners and teacher how they can help families with handicapped children to come through the jungle of authorities, how they get the most of support for their children will be integrated as much as possible in social life and also what especially mums could do not to get isolated from social life as they often just have to care about their handicapped child forgetting their own lives. Normally there are lots of people coming and I hope we will have as much success as you will have for the children in the States.
Good luck, Katja

Sorry Michael, I have to work that day and traveling to New Jersey from Manhattan in the evening by myself is a no-no for me. If this was in Manhattan It would have been better for me. But I wish you and Joe lots of success to raise money for the kids!! Hugs, Helena
