The Whistling Cyclist Joins Our Advocacy

There is nothing better than waking up in the morning to a message that a talented Indie Artist with years of experience opted to join our system. We are an independent record label incorporated in 2018 for the sole purpose of promoting our charity, The Android Foundation. Our goals are straight forward: Youth Empowerment though our seven programs. Our programs are 'all kids inclusive' which means ages 6-14 and 15-20 year of age (with parental involvement). All inclusive also mean any youth under the age of 21, incarcerated, and disabled. We have room for 21 and over via our intern to mentor program, so in reality no one is excluded from our mission.

The Whistling Cyclist has a diverse background similar to mine as we are both retired Engineers. I was so happy when Steve, aka the Whistling Cyclist committed to our charity. His KSAs are quite extensive and I look forward to his input. Mentoring youth for 20 minutes per week is all it takes! I provide our interns and parents with an IEP suited to their age and aptitude. Our mentors step in from time to time to assist me when needed. 

An example of a success story: Craig Marpel, who joined our little family in October of 2020. He has schizophrenia and was going though a rough time. He and I worked on skills building as Craig is a gifted lyricist at age 20. I sent his lyrics to our affiliate in the UK, Steven Lester, aka The Lost Spider, and within a week, Craig was published on all streaming platforms with a collaboration CD. The CD is on Iggy Ice Publicity under Calm And Edgy.

This success story is just the tip of the iceberg. For example, the Executive Director of the Android Foundation started out with me at age 19. She worked with our charity while attending SUNY Maritime. I mentored her while she was getting her Engineering degree. I passed along everything I learned from my mentor, Anthony Giordano, who helped design the landing gear for the LM (Luna Module). Tony and I played racketball and worked on many government projects together. To that end, we need a few more Tony Gs, and Steves! Why? We have 700 scholarships to award to our incoming interns!

In closing, I want to again thank The Whistling Cyclist for his generosity and time which is worth more that gold! For more info about what we do, visit Iggy Ice Publicity and please make sure to like, share and save our artist mentors on Spotify and all streaming platforms to show your appreciation for their advocacy to our mission! 

Yours truly,
