The Cambridge Sunshine Foundation is a new organization, just a few years old, which has goals of helping improve the local community and the greater community of humankind.  Weekly at CCTV, its founder, Danny De Gug, airs a live television program of arts and human concerns.  

Artists who appear on Danny’s Thursday afternoon show on Cambridge cable access network include up-and-coming musicians, singer/songwriters, painters, even Grammy Awarding performer Fred Lipsius.

On our program appeared Thomas Mark Fallon who received the honor of winning the Pavarotti International award for best Counter Tenor; also many performers from around the world have appeared on our show.  Many of these people have important messages to share with all of us. 

Danny interviews his guests, giving them an opportunity to share their concerns, belief systems, their artistic struggles, and their artistic visions with the Cambridge community and also the World-Wide-Web audience.  Some of his shows are aired later in Boston.  All of his shows are broadcast Thursdays at 4:30 pm live and rebroadcasted Thursday night at 11:30 p.m. on CCTV’s internet access channel 9 in Cambridge.

Because the Cambridge Sunshine Foundation believes that the arts can raise an individual’s consciousness, as well as the community’s consciousness, the foundation will continue to be involved in supporting the arts by inviting visual artists, musicians, writers, and actors to appear on CCTV with Danny.  The healing aspects of the arts for the individual practitioner and the audience go deeper than conscious thought.  Viewers give great positive feedback on this program, often picking it out as their favorite program.

 The Cambridge Sunshine Foundation believes that we as a community need to become actively involved in making our voices known to public servants at the local, state, and national levels on issues of concern, such as school enrichment, unemployment, Native American Indians, and a number of other concerns. 

We invite you to share our concerns and ideas.  Perhaps you see an idea in our list you would like to see realized.  Sometimes when a group of individuals come together around an issue, they generate ideas and accomplish activity which not one of them would do alone.  By e-mailing people (whose addresses we have provided) with your concern about these issues you will be volunteering your time and talent in an invaluable way.
