Donations
The Tortorici family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to everyone who was able to donate their time, money, services, and/or items to sell at the auction/fundraiser/tribute.
Due to the overwhelming generosity of so many of Mark's musician brothers and sisters, his many fans, and caring friends and family, the Tortorici family was able to cover Mark's funeral expenses at Conejo Mountain Memorial Park & Crematory where he was laid to rest.
After much time and thoughtful consideration, all the organizations we chose are organizations, places and things that were closest to Mark's heart. We know these are the choices he would have wanted us to make.
- California Shakespeare Company - Mark was a member of the company for many years
- Italian Catholic Federation - St Joseph's Charities - Donations go towards helping the homeless, the church, and scholarships
- Mad Attic Thrift Shop / Conejo Valley Outreach Organizations - Mad Attic Thrift Shop, an outreach of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church. Donation to the thrift shop is being matched by the Mad Attic and provided as a scholarship to a graduating student at Thousand Oaks High School, Mark's alma mater.
- MusiCares Foundation - Providing assistance to professional musicians in times of need
- Pink Paws Rescue & Adoption - A volunteer based organization focusing on rescuing cats, spay neuter programs, and trap/neuter/release programs
- St Patrick's Episcopal Day School - Music program (the school that Mark attended)
All donations were given "in Loving Memory of our son Mark 'Torch' Tortorici". If you would like any further information, please feel free to reach out to us via the Contact Us section above, and the family will be happy to explain.
