Midnight Sun: Sir Ivan's Annual Hampton Fundraising Bash

By -
On the heels of the release of his newly single “Here Comes The Sun,” recording artist Sir Ivan hosted his annual bash, “Midnight Sun” at his lavish castle in the Hamptons on August 23, 2014, to celebrate the release of his single, and to raise funds for his foundation.

Known for singing tunes about universal love, human rights and world peace, Sir Ivan created “The Peaceman Foundation,” to help individuals suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D.) as a result of bullying, hatred, violence or persecution. Additionally, 100% of Sir Ivan’s personal recording artist royalties go to the non-profit charity.

Later this year, Sir Ivan will release an anti-bullying anthem titled “Kiss All The Bullies Goodbye,” to raise awareness about the staggering statistics of teen suicides in the LGBT community, who attempt suicide at a rate 40% higher than that of straight teenagers.

Proceeds from this song will be going to various LGBT organizations, including The Trevor Project. Produced by world famous Paul Oakenfold, “Kiss All the Bullies Goodbye” also features a vocal performance from International pop star Taylor Dayne.

See link below to an article with The Source magazine, which recaps the big bash, as well as includes photos and details about Sir Ivan’s charity efforts:

While someone speaking English in Germany can get by in most places, having at least a foundation in basic German will open up a whole host of life experiences and opportunities simply not available to those not understanding
