"Oh What a Dream We Had" Event at Docks Off 5th
The Power of Music: Raising Awareness of Cancer Prevention and Early Detection
“Oh What a Dream We Had” is a project that aims to bring together artists from around the world to draw everyone’s attention to the urgent need to reduce the unacceptable toll that cancer takes on too many families around the world – every year. All proceeds from this initiative will go to the American charity Prevent Cancer Foundation. The Foundation strives to reduce cancer incidence and death by empowering people to stay ahead of cancer through prevention and early detection, making it preventable, detectable, and accessible to all.
The Team: Acclaimed Czech musician Michal David, along with managers of the project and executive producers Ladislav Vajdicka and Braison Cyrus, have embarked on a collaborative venture with a roster of international artists to reinvent David’s 1980s classic, "Oh What A Dream We Had." This song will raise awareness and foster hope, reminding us that cancer is not unbeatable. Music has always brought people together; this time, it can unite us in the fight against cancer.
The Inspiration: This song is personal for the David Family, a tribute to their beloved daughter Michelle, who died of leukemia at the age of nine. It evolved into the anthem for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, and the Dalmatian, Michelle’s beloved dog, became the logo and symbol for the cause.
The event was held at Docks Off 5th in New York City
