🥁💙 Our new fundraiser, Stubbornly Optimistic supports the Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust, a mission close to Marcus Bleecker’s heart. 

Marcus grew up watching his father, a WWII veteran, live a life of service long after he left the uniform. 
That legacy fuels this project, created to help veterans whose programs are disappearing and whose needs keep growing. Marcus brings powerful heart and talent to this cause. He’s the drummer for The John Popper Project (with John Popper and DJ Logic) and a 2x Emmy-nominated filmmaker whose work spans directing, cinematography, writing, and festival-recognized storytelling. 

This Play it Forward fundraiser is his way of giving back. Tap the link in our bio to donate, download the track, and help us keep the rhythm of optimism alive.
