Family Day is one of the music industry's signature events providing a spectacular day full of fun games, food and carnival activities to raise money for cancer and AIDS research, including a special grant for ovarian cancer research this year. Having steadily grown into one of the Martell Foundation's most successful events, Family Day has raised over $5 million for Martell-funded research at top hospitals across the country. Last year's sold out Family Day event featured superstars Ed Sheeran and Jason Mraz with performances by singing sensations Austin Mahone, Emblem 3 and Greyson Chance.

Tom Corson noted, "I am truly honored by this great recognition from the T.J. Martell Foundation. I have always supported their cutting-edge research programs at the Martell-funded hospitals and I hope to help make this 15th anniversary event a huge success."

According to Marcus Peterzell, Family Day Chairman and Ketchum's EVP of Entertainment, "Tom has always been a huge supporter of Martell's programs. The music ties he has forged over the years at Sony will ensure that this year's anniversary will break all of our records."
