Mark Mulligan won “I Can” Award in 2012
In 2012, the Trop Rock Music Association awarded its prestigious “I Can” award to Mark Mulligan, founder and past president of Castaway Kids. This award is given each year at the Association’s annual awards show to the trop rock musician who gives the most back to his or her community.
For those of us who know Mark, we know that Castaway Kids is just a small part of what he does for our community. If Mark hears of a family struggling because of a medical or other emergency, he always seems to be able to find some money to help them, whether from that night’s CD sales proceeds, or by using his microphone to tell the story and open the pockets of some of the members of his audience.
Congratulations Mark!! Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for your community and good luck on your new projects.
