Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to invite you all to a wonderful documentary showing on July 22nd at the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts in Richmond titled: Jason Becker, Not Dead Yet.

This documentary is about the extraordinary life and music of Jason Becker, who grew up and currently lives in Richmond. Jason went to Kennedy High School and was poised as a rising rock musician in 1990 (after making several albums and slated to tour with David Lee Roth), only to be diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) at the young age of 21.

While ALS has left him with physical paralysis, his creativity has flourished. Defying the odds, Jason is still with us more than twenty years later, making music, composing, and embracing life to its fullest (undoubtedly the source of his creativity!). His music and this documentary have been played and viewed throughout the world, and he has received many awards for his artistry, as well as for his inspirational life. He is doing Richmond proud and we are so proud of him!

View the trailer for the documentary here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGFDWTC8B8g 

There will be two showings on July 22nd, so please purchase a ticket for either the 4 pm show or the 7 pm here: http://www.facebook.com/events/355701464502917/permalink/355991017807295/?comment_id=356034101136320¬if_t=like 

Jason is donating the proceeds from this to arts activites and education for Richmond youth.

The arts (including music, of course) are a language of communication that unites us as human beings. Jason's artistry speaks to us, beckoning us to rise in spite of all challenges.

Hope you will join Jason and his family and friends, including me, on July 22nd.  I will be at the 7 pm show and will be presenting Jason with a heartfelt certificate of appreciation on behalf his hometown of Richmond, CA!

My best,
Gayle
