Review for Nat King Cole Generation Hope Inc, Boca Raton, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My name is Sharon Mullane and I work in the South Florida area as an attorney and Criminal Justice/Legal University Professor. I first learned of the existence of Nat King Cole Generation Hope many years ago when I was looking for an organization with a solid reputation where I could donate some high-end musical equipment. Since the musical arranger workstation(keyboard) and other equipment I wanted to donate could really benefit the right kids, it was crucial to me to find an organization that would see to it that the equipment went to children where the need was great and the resources were few. I have to say that I was thrilled when I picked up the newspaper one day and learned that the twin daughters of one of my musical heroes, Nat King Cole, had created an organization in the name of Nat King Cole which would benefit children in need in a truly musical way. Nat King Cole Generation was created by twins, Timolin and Casey, for the purpose of providing both musical instruction and instruments to children who may, otherwise, not be able to afford such luxuries. Fortunately for me, the donation of my equipment was just the beginning of a wonderful relationship with the Cole twins and Nat King Cole Generation Hope. I fervently believe in the legacy of Nat King Cole and also, more recently, honor the legacy of Maria Cole, a great singer in her own right and mom to Timolin, Casey and Natalie, as well. I am so proud to be a board member of Nat King Generation Hope as I have seen first hand, over and over, what a significant difference Nat King Cole Generation Hope has made in the lives of children. If you love music, love children and want to see to it that every child, regardless of ability to pay, has the opportunity to have a music-filled life, please jump on board. You will be glad you did!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Over time I would love to see the organization grow to benefit not only children in South Florida but children throughout the United States. I know that the Cole twins and other board members would love to see this become a reality as well.
