Tonny Kenneth in Concert / Album Release Party
March 31st at The Palm Cabaret and Online
One of Vallarta’s newest musical stars, Tonny Kenneth is debuting his new album, “Fameless.” He is donating a portion of every ticket to RISE, both live and online. If you have seen Tonny’s Prince show at The Palm, you will agree that this will be a fantastic concert.
Tonny Kenneth is originally from Panama, where his career as a singer, songwriter & producer began. He was the lead singer in a popular rock band, called “BlessNight,” which opened for Shakira & Bryan Ray. He won KWC Panama and went to represent his country in a Finland talent competition placing in the top 10. From there he won “Singer Of The Year” in Los Angeles at an iPop convention. He’s a composer, a musician and a performer. It’s a deadly music combination that made him the star he is today.
Get tickets at ThePalmCabaret.com or watch online by purchasing a Virtual Ticket for the multi-camera live streaming/access to Private FB group of the concert through paypal.me/tonnykenneth
(write on details: Virtual Ticket). You will receive an email with the Virtual Ticket and a confirmation number. (Price: $400 pesos)
March 7 ‘Off the Menu’ Fundraiser a Success!
A big thank you to Cafe Bohemio owner Sol Rose and all of you who joined us for a fun night of cooking and singing during our March 7 ‘Off the Menu’ Fundraiser! We raised just over $64,000 pesos ($3,200 USD) for the kids. For a first-time event this is a great success.
Our guests were impressed from the start with their fresh food baskets right to the last number from Sol and his guest soloist singing a duet “All I Ask of You,” from Phantom of the Opera. We had a heartfelt testimonial from a former resident of RISE, Marilu. Our international guests joined us from all over the United States and Canada ranging in age from 24 to 90. To date we are still receiving comments, such as:
“We had a blast”
“It was so much fun”
“Sol was fun and funny”
“The food was great”
“Loved the singing”
“What a great idea”
“It was such a nice way to spend a Sunday evening!”
Honestly, we could go on and on… instead, we hope that these words inspire you to join us for one or both of our upcoming events.
If you can’t attend, but would like to join the effort to keep the Spirit of R.I.S.E. alive, please click HERE and press the Donate button – every little bit helps! Monthly donation options are also available, and preferred, if possible, as it helps with budgeting and planning. The impact of your donation on a child’s life is significant, regardless of the amount. Muchas Gracias and blessings from all of us at RISE for your continued support.
