Arizona for the Holidays
In 1997, Rodney B. Glassman was described by the Arizona Daily Star as a "businessman, singer, athlete,
and Eagle Scout." Now, in the year 2001, add University of Arizona
M.B.A. alumnus, Icerink owner, commercial real estate agent, M.PA.
(graduation May 2002), founder of the Annual Rodney Glassman Gentleman's Roast, and philanthropist all while just turning
23 last May. Standing 67", he
claims to be the tallest, Jewish,
singing, hockey playing, Eagle Scout in Arizona.
One summer day, Rodney landed at Casa de los
Niņos, dressed in a
chef's outfit complete with apron
and checked pants. He was on a break from his summer internship working at Bob McMahon's Prime Steakhouse and interested in how he could help
Casa de los Niņos. Rodney realizes and appreciates the blessings that his parents have given him. He and
his brother Jeremy were both raised in a household where giving to
the community was a focal point in their lives.
The strong feelings of warmth and kindness felt throughout the holiday season are what inspired Rodney to create this CD project. Money raised through the sale of this CD
will directly fund the
care of abused and neglected children at Casa de los Niņos. Rodney's
goal is to provide a little bit of the love and warmth given to him by his parents, to the
children
at Casa de los Niņos.
Through his love of music, generosity, and ability to combine the forces of some of Tucson's most coveted charitable organizations and artistic performers, he
has created a piece of art for the entire community to enjoy.
Dedicated
to Mom for my motivation to
help others, Cheri for supporting my
ideas, and Grandma for letting me
know when I'm wrong. And to Dani,
Marcia, Karen, Joan, Jan, Lupie, and
Roxie who have adopted me into
their lives.
In
Loving Memory of Mrs.
Divine.
