An Evening with Vogel Alcove featuring World Piano Man Martyn Lucas Rocked!

 A Special Evening with Vogel Alcove featuring World Piano Man Martyn Lucas in concert rocked! A crowd of supporters and friends got together virtually and sang and danced in support of the nonprofit’s mission of providing therapeutic early childhood services, school-age programs and family support services for homeless children ages six weeks to 12 years old, and their families.

Sponsored by Santander Consumer USA, donations brought in song requests as the evening began with a request for “You’ve Got a Friend In Me,” and rocked on with Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock.” Karen Hughes, President and CEO of Vogel Alcove, welcomed guests and shared a video spotlighting the children and families helped by the organization.  The fun continued with Martyn singing in the voices of Billy Joel in “Movin’ Out,” and more songs in the voices of Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, John Lennon, a sing-along of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and more.

A special highlight was the auction of a guitar signed by Jon Bon Jovi with Regina Bruce as the high bidder.  In tribute, Martyn sang Bon Jovi’s “Bed of Roses.”  The concert ended with everyone joining in singing Queen’s “We Are The Champions,” waving hands and sharing smiles.

Post-event at the photo shoot, Regina surprised Vogel Alcove by donating the Jon Bon Jovi guitar back to Vogel Alcove, whereupon a silent bidder scooped it up, donating even more to the cause.

All proceeds from this event benefit Vogel Alcove, an early childhood education and Parent Opportunity Center that is working to Break the Cycle of Poverty for homeless children and their families in Dallas. Vogel Alcove provides educational, developmental and therapeutic services to children and families affected by homelessness.
