After learning much and realizing that there is no one place to get all the information out there, he decided to start San Diego Down Syndrome to put in one place all that he has learned. One of the purposes of this event is to show the public the capabilities or these special individuals.

Funds for this event were received through the reselling of book donations and other charitable gifts.

This team came into the bluegrass scene in 2008 and has continued to emerge as a highly sought after act having performed at festivals and venues around the country. Recent accomplishments include a performance for former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi at the United States Capitol.
