Choraliers President, Jeff Limjoco said NDC will continue its support of the local charity Trevor’s Treasures by collecting unwrapped toys and donations in the lobby at the concerts. These toys continue to fulfill the mission of Trevor Blake who passed away in 2013 at age 11 from a rare form of cancer.

Rather than give up or give in, Trevor set a mission to bring toys to other children who were also suffering from cancer, and he dedicated his short life to brining smiles to the faces of other children undergoing cancer treatment.
