Fulginiti Family Band is proud to release our 7th annual, holiday fundraising single, “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve”.

We’re hoping to inspire listeners to donate a total of $2,500 to our cause: Hand Up Partners of Lancaster, PA.  Hand Up Partners is a new organization founded by Dave Costarella and his amazing work with the homeless population of Lancaster.  The group pays homeless citizens a small stipend for cleaning up city parks and public areas.  After beginning last year, Hand Up Partners has paid over $75,000 in wages and helped those without homes move a step closer to getting off the streets.

Besides cleaning, Hand Up Partners continues the work Dave Costarella started years ago, by providing food, clothing and supplies to those trying to survive the winter without shelter. Donations can be made at toddfulginiti.com (where you can download the track), our GoFundMe drive, or directly to Hand Up Partners.

Besides toddfulginiti.com, the music can be streamed on all major streaming platforms and viewed on YouTube.

“What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” features Bailey’s rich, jazz vocals, and a horn arrangement by Todd, with contributions from Ally and Tom on backing vocals and bass.  The track is inspired by the golden age of Hollywood and the big band era, as well modern day artists like Rachel & Vilray, who sound like they fell out of yesteryear.

Fulginiti Family Band is Todd (Dad), Ally (daughter), Bailey (daughter), Tom (soon-to-be-son-in-law).

Several guest artists were needed to create that sound, and we are grateful for the contributions of Dave Winter (piano), Dave Santana (drums), Howard Boots (clarinet & saxes) and Steve Shiffer (trombone).  As always, Steve Puffer at Parallel Productions was key to the production.

We hope you’ll take a moment from the busyness of the season to enjoy our musical offering and, more importantly, donate and learn more about the incredible work of Dave Costarella and Hand Up Partners.

Happy New Year- no matter what you’re doing 🙂
