Sit Down with Kim Ansin and Tom Donaruma

Compassionate Measures Podcast

Pull up a chair to learn JUST what it takes to host a highly successful music festival! Kim Ansin (President) and Tom Donaruma (Vice President) of RallySound are here to discuss The Ramble in Ashburnham, MA and their amazing community of volunteers. We get to hear how music fans are working together to literally change the world during this day of music, fun, food, art, and information. Last year, Ramble 15 got 151 of our veteran heroes into safe and dignified housing when it raised $151 thousand for the New England Center and Home for Veterans!

Kim and Tom fill us in about music bringing people to the festival while the feeling of community, empowerment and wanting to do a little good turns them into Ramble volunteers.

How would it feel to hear that you’ve just raised $151 thousand with your community of music friends and are changing veterans’ lives? It’s all here in our incredibly inspiring conversation with Kim and Tom.

Please consider a small donation to RallySound (rallysound.org) or the New England Center and Home for Veterans (nechv.org).

Get your Ramble ticket at getrambled.com The festival will be held this year on Saturday, August 23rd. It’s held every year on the weekend before Labor Day and I’ll smile your way when we’re both volunteers.
