Friends of BARE Composer Damon Intrabartolo Seek Funds for Memorials

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Damon Intrabartolo, who wrote the music for BARE, passed away on August 13 in Arizona where he has been living the last few years. He was 39 years old. According to his official Facebook memorial page, friends are seeking funds for his upcoming memorials- in New York on September 30th at Saint Clement's Church (46th Street), and in Los Angeles on September 23rd at Pasadena Playhouse.

We are looking to raise money for Damon Intrabartolo's Memorial. As you all know, there was no one like him and we want to create an unforgettable celebration of his life. Memorials will be held in LA, NYC, and AZ so that everyone who loved him can come together to share his memories and honor his life.

It only takes a second to contribute. If everyone who is a member of this page gave $37 dollars, we would be at our goal. If you can give more, please do -- as not everyone can afford to give -- it is so appreciated! We truly need your help to pull this off!
