"One of the biggest reasons I am doing any of this is for charity!"
Yes, Sarantos is definitely doing this to try and raise as much money for charity as possible. Why? Well he is a doctor and genuinely has devoted the majority of his existence to helping people in need. However, let's be honest here so no one feels misled.
Sarantos loves music! He is making music because he loves to make music. Music is his passion. Thru the years, this powerful passion has never wavered. He has never considered it work. It is fun!
Sarantos is such a perfectionist that he has spent countless untold hours honing his craft and trying to make his sound be both harmonious and inspirational to anyone who listens to it. Is he perfect? Absolutely not! Some people may think that he is using the charity angle because he is trying to get publicity out of it. That is the furthest thing from the truth.
Sarantos is proud to donate to a specific charity for each one of his songs that are released to the public.Sarantos encourages other artists to do the same. Additionally, Sarantos hopes to one day start his own charity where the red tape and administrative costs will be negligible and the money can go to the people that actually need it. He hopes to do this in honor of his father, who died after a long battle with lung cancer. The simple truth is Sarantos just wants to make a difference in the life of someone in need.
Please feel free to submit any charitable causes to Sarantos by email as he plans to continue to pick a different charity for each of his songs as long as he is living...

NCADV recognizes that the abuses of power in society foster battering by perpetuating conditions, which condone violence against women and children.
