Denver, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/07/2015 --World-renowned musician, Louis Colaiannia, is willing to perform "live" his heart-rending tribute in support of victims and families from the Aurora theatre shooting.
"A live performance would bring awareness of the need to continue the support for the victims and their families," he said.
It would also make people aware of the song so they can support the Colorado Organization for Victims Assistance by purchasing the song.
100% of the funds will go to Colorado Organization for Victims Assistance (COVA).

Since 1982, COVA has been committed to fairness and healing for crime victims, their families and communities through leadership, education, and advocacy. By operating in an inclusive and compassionate manner, COVA creates solutions and positive change.
Colaiannia is also available for supporting any and all productions surrounding the July 20th anniversary. "I'm offering the music to be used as background for any production involving the theater shooting royalty free," he said. "I just ask for credit so people can find it and purchase it."
Radio interviews and playing of the song are also available, he said.
"The ongoing trial is very hard for these families," said Sterling Harris from COVA.
Colaiannia believes that public financial support for the families is diminishing. "I'm afraid this has fallen off most people's radar, so I'm hoping my song can help contribute to the awareness that there is still a need for support," he said.
