Ryan's Day 11 DMD fundraiser goes virtual! Live streaming Facebook concert event complete with live music bingo for the whole family!
Ryan's Day 11 DMD fundraiser goes virtual! Live streaming Facebook concert event complete with live music bingo for the whole family!

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Celebrating it's 11th year in the midst of a pandemic, the architects behind Ryan's Day have taken their live music fundraiser to Facebook. "As long as Ryan goes on, we go on, and the show goes on. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy doesn't take breaks," says Lesile Schmidt, Ryan's mother. "Being virtual has proven to be a blessing. We were able to secure higher-profile artists that haven't been able to join us in the past due to schedules and distance. It's much easier to get people to join us from their living rooms and hometowns."

This year's family-friendly fundraiser will take place from noon – 6:30pm CST on Saturday October 24th via Facebook livestream from the "Inspiration on Wheelz" Facebook page. Besides featuring over 15 accomplished musicians from across the country, Ryan's Day 11 promises live music bingo ("MINGO") - at 1pm & 5pm hosted by "Dr. Rock" from Minnesota-based entertainment company "Organized Chaos."

“This young artist on a mission has attracted the attention of celebrities near and far, whom support Ryan’s Day,” says former University of Texas Longhorns coach Mack Brown. “Anyone that is involved with this awful disease knows Ryan “Wheelz” Schmidt."

Highlighted artists include Ralph Rieckermann, Scorpions bass player-gone-DJ/painter/film composer, and rising country music star and Iowa Hawkeye defensive lineman Dalles Jacobus. After experiencing viral success with his song "We Wave," Jacobus is now featured on Adam Whitehead's song "Single Mom" which hit #2 on the Apple country album charts earlier this year. Katja Rieckermann, known for her 14 years as Sir Rod Stewart's leggy blonde saxophone virtuoso, is also joining the lineup as she's promoting her recent solo projects "Together" and "Never Stand Still." See full lineup below.

"This young artist on a mission has attracted the attention of celebrities near and far, whom support Ryan's Day," says former University of Texas Longhorns coach Mack Brown. "Anyone that is involved with this awful disease knows Ryan "Wheelz" Schmidt and knows what he's done to promote and educate people to try and get a cure." Currently "Wheelz" has 4 full length CD's available: "In The Beginning," "Determined," "2Determined," and "Just Me" - more info available @ wheelzband.com.
