Christopher Page Uses Stellar Award Nom To Bring Awareness To Organ Donation
Christopher Page
Gospel music artist Christopher Page was recently nominated for his first Stellar Award for his CD “A Page from My Heart”, which features the gospel song “Sanctified Slide.” According to a press release, the nomination will be used as a platform to encourage more African Americans and Christians to commit to becoming organ donors by working with the National Office of Transplantation and Donate Life America.
Christopher Page is a nationally known professor, minister, gospel artist, clinician, and songwriter. Over the past ten years, he has ministered extensively throughout the United States. He has performed with gospel music artists such as Kirk Franklin, Dottie Peoples, Maurette Brown Clark, and Trin-i-tee 5:7.
The Giving Life through Gospel Music campaign starts on November 13, 2009 during National Donor Sabbath Weekend and ends on August 1, 2010 on National Minority Donor Awareness Day. As part of the partnership, Christopher will have information available about the benefits of organ donation available at each performance during his Sanctified Slide Tour. Christopher will also donate a portion of his album sales to Donate Life America. In addition, he will also host workshops and conduct interviews across the country to address some of the myths, obstacles and fears associated with organ donation.
Christopher, who had a Cornea transplant a year ago and will have a second transplant in the Spring of 2010, feels that, “It is an honor to be nominated and possibly win the Stellar Award, but this honor means nothing if I can’t use it to make a difference in someone’s life. The way that I think about it is that I couldn’t read the ballot or my lyrics if it weren’t for someone else deciding to give me the gift of sight.”
I didn’t see the CD listed on Amazon, but you can purchase it on iTunes, CDBaby, Digstation, or Rhapsody.
I’m really liking the gospel song “Sanctified Slide” and the moves. I like to do the “ChaCha Slide”, but I think doing the “Sanctified Slide” might be a better look.
