Renowned drummer, Johnny Byrne who has toured and recorded with KC and the Sunshine Band, among other famous artists, brings his annual Drummer’s Showcase to the Webb Theater at OCSHA in Santa Ana on Friday at 6:30 p.m. to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This cause is near and dear to my heart, since one of my four sons was diagnosed with T1D seven years ago. I also serve on the board of JDRF.
Drumming to Beat Diabetes combines the skills of professional drummers and their students to provide a terrific evening of entertainment. The performance will feature 23 drummers showcasing their incredible talents along with guest performances by drummer Russ Miller who has performed with Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Nelly Furtado, Hilary Duff; and sound engineer Dave Aron, who has worked with 2 Pac, Snoop Dogg, Sublime, Prince, and Nate Dogg, All profits will be donated to JDRF.
Dogzilla and Longboards Ice Cream food trucks will be serving food outside the venue all night donating 10% of their proceeds to JDRF. There will be 2 opportunity drawings, one for a beautiful MAPEX drum set and an electronic drum set.
You can purchase tickets online. General admission tickets cost $30 and orchestra tickets cost $50.
The Webb Theater is on the OCSHA campus at 801 North Main Street in Santa Ana.
ADA'S Father of the Year
The Orange County American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Father’s Day Council of Orange County will celebrate the 2013 Father of the Year Awards at a dinner reuniting past alumni on Thursday, June 13 at 6 p.m. at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort in Newport Beach. This year’s honorees are Timothy L. Strader, Sr. the Chairman of Starpointe Ventures; Wylie Aitken, Founding Partner & Attorney at Aitken*Aitken*Cohn; Dennis B.

The honorees have balanced their personal and professional lives, serving as an exceptional role model for their children while making a positive difference in the community. Guests will also be treated to a special video montage featuring these men and their families. All proceeds will support the American Diabetes Association and its mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
Diabetes is a serious, life-threatening and currently incurable disease that can include complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, amputations and loss of life if left untreated. It is the seventh leading disease based cause of death. Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes and millions more have pre-diabetes. More than one third of those with diabetes are undiagnosed.
In Orange County, approximately 250,000 people have diabetes. In Orange County the ADA funds research at UCI, holds camps for effected families, puts on free clinics for screening and prevention and is involved in numerous other community events.
Tax deductible, (excluding dinner costs) individual tickets are available for $300 each.
