Drew Young Sings Out for PHLBI.org

Bill and Linda Dempsey Young head the NBHOF, in California; however they are most proud accomplishment is as the foundation of an amazing and courageous family.

Their son, Drew has been involved with several charities. He was with fundraisers, the first being 911 tragedy, Disabled Veterans, Cancer victims, Christmas delivery of toys to children / Mexico, Idaho Prison, Juvenile “rehabilitation” Idaho, Boise Rescue Mission (Homeless), Numerous Convalescent homes, Borderline / Thousand Oaks tragedy, and involved in the last 10 years Pacific Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

Bill and Linda Young support Drew and his involvement of numerous charities as well supporting some of their own.

“Our family and friends have been touched with many tragedies and we go forward together.”

On February 27th, Drew performed a Johnny Cash concert with some of his talented friends from him in order to raise money for the Pacific Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, run by Dr. Cameron and a part of UCLA. It was lively, professional and full of heart and goodwill. If you saw the concert, like I had the pleasure to, you know how wonderful and uplifting it was.

In Drew’s words: … “Meso found us, and we have had a personal relationship with them ever since. So, naturally I’m drawn to the cause and I’m all about” that charity “when I’m part of “that charity.” And that’s how I am when I’m involved with every charity that. It’s just a natural thing because you build relationships and you see first hand some incredible testimonials.

“Our contribution to MESO specifically was when we offered to give the placenta from Luke’s birth to the organization. Two days before he was born, I was performing and DJing at their 2019 Walk. I had a conversation with Dr. Cameron and offered Luke’s placenta right then and there.

“Literally on the morning of Luke’s birth, they came into the room and got it from us. Luckily we were at UCLA and Dr. Cameron is part of UCLA. And for purposes of keeping the placenta in good condition and refrigerated, it was perfect. Due to Luke’s condition, it helps with their research even more by having this specific placenta. At the time they picked it up, we wouldn’t know if Luke was going to live. But he did. . ”

Anyone interested in supporting the wonderful work of the PHLB Institute, or sharing this post, out of respect to this generous family who have stood by so many, see the link below.

Thank you, Drew, Carrie, Linda, Bill, Luke and your family for being role models during these difficult times … and all times.
