The following was featured in an issue of GRAMMY® Magazine.......
The Hard Rock Cafe in Atlanta teamed up with the Unbreakable Music Foundation to host "Mind for Music" at The Velvet Underground. Unbreakable Music Foundation was established by Writer/Producer Simon Illa. The foundation's focus, although broad in scope, is primarily based on assistance and raising awareness of needs related to creation of music and music education.
UMF accomplished this through various music-related events,campaigns,
and promotions. Simon was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, an inherited
disorder characterized by extreme fragility of the bones, leaving him
confined to a wheel chair. This has not stopped Simon from pursuing his dreams
however.
"Sometimes I wonder where I would be in my career if I could have had
the tools to explore my interest in music earlier in life. Now that I
have made my way within the mainstream music industry, I feel it is
time to think about the next generation, the next child or children
that should have access to the equipment that will provide the
opportunities to explore and learn music 'hands on' despite physical disability."

All proceeds from the event were donated to the Unbreakable Music
Foundation’s “Mind For Music” initiative. You may also make donations
to the account of Unbreakable Music Foundation at SunTrust Banks
around Atlanta.
