How we began . . .
We started this over a decade ago with the Intention of sharing the stage with some of our fellow musicians, mentors, and students That we had not been able to see in a while because of all of our many family lives and ongoing performance schedules. While we were doing the lineup we realized that we had some spots we could open & the unique position to share our stage with other individuals and groups that had never before performed, were up and coming, Or just starting out musicians and performers, to help them get stage experience, and encourage them to go further.
The volunteer staff involved with L.C.M.F. have had many years experience in the music industry, and many other fields also. Everything from cooking, law enforcement, building, media, dog training, teaching, emergency services, event planning and more, both locally and beyond. Some of our veterans have over 40 years in just entertainment. We have all played, worked, and, or organized, numerous benefits, fundraisers, concerts, festivals, steak frys, fairs, and other events to help many people, in many situations.
Some examples the Sandusky Veteran’s Home, Lighning's Run (9ysRunnin'), Muscular Dystrophy, Cystic Fibrosis, Case Western Children’s Hospice, Autism Speaks, Marine Corp League, or just something as simple as a fundraiser for someone who passed, whose family is without the means to just cover funeral expenses, or a breast cancer research donation in the name of a loved one who has passed from the disease. We do not discriminate, if we have the ability and the resources, we will help you or at least try to put you in the direction that may help.
