Daniel for a good cause!

Daniel contributed a beautiful version of "What Child is This" to a holiday compilation aiming to raise money for some good causes in the area. You can listen for free or download it for $5 and choose which organization you want your $5 to go to.

The first is an organization that uses sports programs for area children, the middle is the local NPR station and the last is an arts/music program for kids.

Be sure to watch the video on the page too!
