My name is Ron Kobayashi and I perform regularly with vocalist Crystal Clulee. Crystal is not only a wonderfully talented vocalist of many genres, she is a loyal colleague and good friend.

Recently, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and is having surgery towards the end of August, 2025. After surgery, she will be unable to perform for at least 4 or 5 weeks. As someone who is solely dependent on musical performance for her income, she will need financial assistance during her recovery just to pay the bills.

It is for this reason I'm asking for your generous contribution to this fund to help with costs she will incur during her long recovery period. We all hope and pray her recovery goes smoothly and she will be back entertaining the masses very soon.

By the way, this is also a reminder for women to get regular screenings for breast cancer. Finding it early is the key. Thanks, everyone!
