Bridging thru Music Band Where's Ringo Wins Award

The Pete Croughan Award is presented each year to a LITA of Marin volunteer who exemplifies the unconditional love and compassion that was Pete Croughan's life. This year LITA of Marin is pleased to present this award to the Bridging thru Music volunteer band “Where’s Ringo?”.

Where’s Ringo band members are Bruce Wilmott on vocals, who also happens to be a PGA Golf Pro, Cathy Wilmott on vocals, Bruce Friedberg on ukulele and accordion, Anthony Parber on bass, and Doug Martin on ukulele, slide guitar and pedal steel. Each of these musicians has had a demanding career, but their passion is bringing joy to residents through music.

The Where’s Ringos have played at Creekwood Care Facility in Novato, Greenwood Assisted Living in San Rafael, Aldersly in San Rafael, AlmaVia Assisted Living in San Rafael, The Tamalpais in Greenbrae and others. In April they played for 3 different facilities in one week- and they called it their “World Tour”! In Sept 2020 after facilities started allowing outdoor performances, they played at Creekwood in Novato outside under a canopy, with speakers placed inside the building so that the residents could enjoy the music safely. 

Because of their selfless dedication to bringing musical joy to senior care communities, LITA is proud to present them with the Pete Croughan Award this year!
