the lives of countless people; the homeless,
the sick, the hungry, the heroes, and the
challenged. This past year he volunteered
for Long Island Special Olympics, Pitch for
a Cure to strike out juvenile diabetes, and

support single family homes, renovations and
financial assistance to returning veterans and
their families who have found themselves in
need of financial assistance upon returning
from overseas to those who served in any
branch of the United States Armed Forces who
are no longer on active duty. The foundation
has worked tirelessly to ensure our heroes’
sacrifices do not go unnoticed.
Finally, Jagenburg has been a guest speaker
many times at Suffolk County Community
College Grant Campus as he coached students
to be part of a Service Learning Team when
he created Music Power NY which held a
Hurricane Sandy Charity event in November.
