This April, Creative Visions, Metropark USA and The Stavros Band combined as the Stavros Band performed live at the huge outdoor shopping mall Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga.  The band’s song, “For Dan – Neverland”, drew huge applause from the crowd, which was touched by singer/songwriter Sam Stavros’ explanation of the lyrics. 

“Dan Eldon is my cousin and I wrote that song for his mother Kathy Eldon as a comfort to her and a tribute to Dan Eldon.  He was a great photo-journalist and artist, but more important he was an activist that used his immense creative talents, passion, and energy to affect positive change in the world.  Dan’s sister Amy and his mother Kathy are continuing his work.  I play the guitar and can use what creativity I have to help my cousins stimulate creative activism inspired by Dan Eldon.” 

The band wore Dan Eldon T-shirts that are sold at DanEldon.com and Metropark USA stores.  Sales from the clothes go to help support Creative Visions, the foundation created by Kathy and Amy.

 Keith Dilley, the manager at the Metorpark store at Victoria Gardens, attended the show and was very enthusiastic about the music and the clothes.  “Dan Eldon’s story is so inspiring and our whole staff at the store has been excited by him.  “The Journey is the Destination,” is a great thought, we are really fortunate to carry this line of quality and inspirational clothes.” 

Julia Martinez, the assistant manager of Metropark, said, “I am excited to see events like this with the Stavros Band that keep interest and excitement alive in the Dan Eldon clothes and story.”
