'Keep a Song in Your Heart'
The Al DiMarco Ticket Share Fund

Al DiMarco was a musician, a working man, and our singer Natasha's dad. Born in the years after the Great Depression, he was frugal his whole life. Money was always a concern, and he worked until the day he died. Music was different. It was something he gave freely, and it's what inspires Natasha today.

He had a saying: “keep a song in your heart.”

Al believed music is the last thing we all have, and all share. For him, a world where money is never a factor in experiencing live music would have been the ultimate gift. This fund gives that gift in his memory, in perpetuity.

How it works: The Ticket Share Program

Building a space where people belong starts with understanding what keeps them out. Every barrier we learn about is one we can work to take down, so more people can connect and express themselves through music and the arts. Here's one we know well: cost.

For a lot of people, the cost of a night out is the reason they opt out. We believe cost should never be a barrier to connection.

The Ticket Share Program exists to make sure it isn't. You give to the fund, and we give the gift of live music to people who ask for it. No application, no explaining. Just a seat, and our promise of discretion. Because no one should be made to feel different for needing a little help. They should be made to feel they belong.

Every shared ticket puts someone in the room this time, and helps us keep prices within reach for everyone next time.

Everyone who gives to the fund is recognized on our website as a contributor to the Al DiMarco Ticket Share Fund, and thanked from the stage at every EE Experience the fund helps fill.
