Team Curiazza held its very first Holiday Light Show Fundraiser in December
2011, to honor my brother Dean who lost his battle with Leukemia in December 1967. If we had the technology back then that we have today, Dean would most likely still be with us. We decided to make it our family mission to raise funds year round to honor Dean’s memory in the hopes that one day soon all blood cancers can be cured & those affected by it could be
helped NOW.

The image of Dean's smiling face continues to guide us forward in our
efforts to help find a cure. Duke's dedication to the patients and families affected by
these non-discriminating diseases is nothing less than incredible. Great progress has been made and will continue to be made in the battle against blood cancers with the support of generous people just like you.

This year has been a little different. I began writing a story about two years ago entitled, "The Workshop" for my family. My main intention was to give them something to remember me by... (Not that I'm going anywhere that I'm aware of). It was presented to them last Christmas as a gift. A rough gift. It was merely a manuscript in an envelope, nicely wrapped of course.  Once I found an editor to work with, things seemed to snowball and next thing I knew the book was going on sale. First in the US by Barnes and Noble and now available worldwide via Amazon. That's when it was decided to donate all royalties and proceeds from the sale of the book through Christmas Day along with any proceeds from our Holiday Christmas Light Show to the Duke Children's Pediatric Cancer Fund.

Please check it out at either barnesandnoble.com or Amazon.com, (type in "curiazza" in the search bar and the book options will pop up).

Now onto this year’s show!
Santa, Rudolph, and Frosty will be hard at it 7 days a week starting December
5th through January 7th, (unless the neighbors beg us to keep it going…), from 5:30p to 9:00p weeknights, and until 10:00p weekends. They are scheduled for extended concerts Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve, (or until our neighbors shut off our electricity...). This merry trio of wire, lights, and holiday magic will be delivering some of your favorite Christmas and Holiday tunes so if you're in the area, please stop by and enjoy the show.

When our children were younger they often asked me, "Dad, do you believe in Santa Claus"? Without hesitation I sincerely replied, "You better believe it"! There is without a doubt a spirit that comes to life, (this time of year especially), that graces us all with extra kindness and love for humanity. Call me crazy, naive, whatever; I still believe it’s “Santa Claus”!
