Founder
It is a well-accepted fact that to reach the epitome that so many people strive for requires a person to have both natural talent in the field, plus a disciplined work ethic that will deliver the precise combination of knowledge, hard work and good attitude, such that the individual will flourish in a way that is beyond any initial horizons that could be considered achievable.
While having a diverse professional qualifications ranging from a Masters of Development Communication, Bachelor of Arts (Mass Communication) to Qualifications in OHS, TAE, MHFA, AHA, HSA, Ageing, Disability and her volunteer work, Mariluz-Maree Masamayor keeps dear to her heart her passionate intrinsic love of music and her many years of experience in the performing arts industry as a hands on producer, to lay down the groundwork and foundation for what is now Australia’s newest and innovative Charitable Cause.
The idea of facilitating partnerships between like-minded Performers and Charities, acting as a catalyst that would enable charity events to go from being great to totally successful, Mariluz-Maree’s intuition knew instinctively of the incredible potential of such a project and what it would it mean to the entire world at large.
The impact that ARTISTS 4 A CAUSE® will have on the ability of likeminded Performing Artists and Charities to come together to create successful charity events, and so help those who are in most need of urgent, crucial and continued and sustained support, is something that Mariluz-Maree confidently foresees happening with ARTISTS 4 A CAUSE® via its database website Artists4ACause.org.
Indeed, Mariluz-Maree has a focused vision of this happening on a truly global scale where ARTISTS 4 A CAUSE® becomes the “Go To” website, an international fundraising platform that unites all world charities to all international performers, to facilitate creating magnificent charity events by harnessing the incredible power of the internet. Such a collaboration will create meaningful and invaluable fundraising events to help and assist people in the most immense way possible.
As Mariluz Maree hopes that in sharing her story it will empower each and every person to realise their merit in this world and become the epitome of their own success. That story is that in 2018 Mariluz–Maree was not expected to live after a life threatening complication occurred while she was in hospital for a minor complaint. After surviving that episode, Mariluz–Maree now talks and feels about ARTISTS 4 A CAUSE® this way: “This project has become my personal promise and my thanksgiving gift to God and for the love I have received from my family, friends, colleagues, volunteers, to the people who will benefit from this cause across all nationalities, to the Charitable Causes and Performing Artists who register.”
Mariluz-Maree further describes her care for humanity in this concluding statement that comes straight from her heart: “I believe everyone is born with a gift or a purpose. My gift is my sense of purpose. In a spirit of mateship we share our gifts, our talents, part of our time with our vision, goals and values that supports good causes that are close to our hearts. Know your gift, find your sense of purpose and become part of the solution.”
Cofounder
From Adversity to ARTISTS 4 A CAUSE®
Mary Emme debuted onto the music scene in 2010 with 28 original songs such as “Freak”, “Dumbest Thing I’ve Done”, I’m Here For You and “I Still Hear Your Voice”.
It only seemed a matter of time before Mary reached her dream of becoming a successful performing artist in recognition of her incredible talent and hard work. However, adversity struck when cysts appeared on her vocal cords.
In the face of such an ordeal Mary called on her fierce determination to battle this ailment. This resulted in not only successful treatment, but Mary was now singing, not only again delivering her performances with a new found wisdom.
This new wisdom manifested itself when Mary decided to tackle a major problem – charities are on many occasions unable to find appropriate Performing Artists for their events. In addition, Performing Artists can find it hard to find charities aligned with their personal and expressed interests.
Wishing to create a totally innovative solution by harnessing the power of the internet, Mary co-founded the ARTISTS 4 A CAUSE® non-profit Charity which administers the database, Artists4ACause.org. This totally FREE internet service makes it simple and easy for Charities to find appropriate Performers for charity events and also assists Performing Artists to find Charities with specific Charitable Causes for which they would be very happy to donate some of their time and talents.
As Mary Emme says: “I welcome Performing Artists from all over the world to support good causes. In doing so we can make a positive difference as we contribute to making our world a much better place.’’
