José Carreras Society of America: Together we will find a cure

Each member of the José Carreras Society of America undoubtedly derives different benefits from membership. Some particularly look forward to the JCSA newsletter (CARRERAS WORLD) as a source of information about Mr. Carreras's career. Others enjoy using their creativity by contributing to the newsletter. And still others appreciate the opportunity to acquire items offered in the Merchandise Catalog, which among many other things include exclusive video and audio tapes, cards, sweatshirts, key rings, bookmarks and mouse pads.

However, certain benefits of membership are certainly common to all members. These include the opportunity to build lasting friendships with other Carreras admirers, to exchange with others the experience of listening to one of the greatest voices of our time and, most important of all, knowing that they are helping Mr. Carreras in the cause closest to his heart - the fight against leukemia. "TOGETHER WE WILL FIND A CURE".

Our illustrated Society newsletter, THE CARRERAS WORLD, is issued four times each year and provides news, articles, and information about Mr. Carreras, including detailed schedules of his appearances all over the world, discography updates, opera discussions, and MUCH MORE!

This informative publication is the means by which the Society members around the world meet and share ideas, experiences, and the joy of being a Carreras admirer.

The Society's various philanthropic endeavors include:

• Support and fundraising for the José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation, founded by Mr. Carreras after his illness.

• A bone marrow registry program located in the USA and Canada.

• An alternate blood donor program for platelets to help fight not only Leukemia, but other life-threatening illnesses as well.

• A ticket fund for underprivileged youths to attend Mr. Carreras' performances, in order to promote the love of good music among the new generations.
