SenDong All Our Love

SenDong All Our Love is a gathering of Chicago Artists and Musicians for the victims of the Typhoon Sendong that hit Iligan City and Cagayan De Oro in the Philippines on Dec 17 and claimed close to 1500 lives. We are also offering this event as a tribute to fellow musician Chris “Dong” Zamora, a Filipino Jazz Guitarist Extraordinaire and a dear friend to many Fil-Am artists in Chicago. He passed away after suffering a massive stroke 8 days before the calamity, on Dec 10, 2012.  100% of the proceeds will benefit the victims of Typhoon Sendong through La Salle Academy in Iligan City, which incidentally is Dong’s high school alma mater. $15 minimum donation at the door. Donation includes a meal of arrozcaldo (chicken or vegan porridge) and performances.  PLEASE BRING A FRIEND.

100% of proceeds benefit typhoon survivors in Iligan City.

He passed away after suffering a massive stroke eight days before the calamity, on Dec 10. His Web site is http://chriszamora.com/about.html.
100% of the proceeds will go to our beneficiary, La Salle Academy in Iligan City, which incidentally is Dong’s (as friends fondly called him) high school alma mater.
