Mission
Statement To support and
cultivate artistic and literary endeavors for the betterment of the
community, with an emphasis on creative programs geared to effectively
reach and educate the public toward fostering a greater awareness of the
benefits provided by arts and literature in our society.
Based on the song "AMERICA BE STRONG"
composed by Tony La Stella in 2001, the project's original intent
was to express the spirit of America coming together to overcome the
tragedy of 9-11.Over the years the song has become an
anthem of hope for the nation at Tony La Stella's concerts where
proceeds derived from it's performances have been used to help
Americans in need.On July 4th,
2009, the song was released
as a "Gift to the Nation" through Free Downloads provided by ICA
Records.With the song gaining support from
listeners around the world, Tony has now conceived the next
evolution of the project in creating the "America
Sings for the World Concert Tour."With the assistance of sponsors, it is
our plan to take this musical message of US goodwill to cities
around the world and also support US Soldiers & Veterans in every
corner of the planet.
