Last Night," and "All the Right Moves." Sue
was one of 20 American songwriters to go to the
Soviet Union in the much heralded Music Speaks
Louder Than Words where she collaborated with Michael
Bolton and Barry Mann, to name a few.
Sue
and husband David Cassidy wrote and donated
the song "Stand and Be Proud" to the
city of Los Angeles in the aftermath of the Los
Angeles riots, garnering over $2 million in donations
and goodwill to help Rebuild L.A…..all in
the unbelievable span of five short days! She penned
the song "River in Time" for the $70
million extravaganza EFX at the MGM Grand Hotel
in Las Vegas, in which her husband starred. She
also wrote three new songs for his CD, "Old
Trick New Dog" (SlamaJama Records), and co-wrote
some of the songs for David's Las Vegas hit show, "David
Cassidy At the Copa" at the Rio All-Suite
Resort Casino. She is also collaborating with
Academy Award nominated actress Dyan Cannon on
a Broadway
musical.
She and Emerging Artists & Talent in Music
(EAT'M) partner Lisa Tenner, who founded EAT'M,
were honored with the prestigious "Distinguished
Woman" Award of Nevada for 1998. According
to Sue, "EAT'M is one of the most exciting
projects I have ever chosen to get involved in.
I am thrilled to be a partner, and to provide my
experience in the music business to help up and
coming talent in the industry".
As busy as she is, you might
think Sue would be happy to rest on her laurels,
but her limitless
enthusiasm continues to energize her to conquer
new challenges. Last year, she and David contributed
their song "Message to the World" to
benefit WarChild USA (now known as Future USA)
to help the Kosovar victims. The song, produced
by multi-Award winning Michael Narada Walden
and featuring celebrities including Rosie O'Donnell,
Martin Sheen, Sam Moore, David Cassidy, Randy
Jackson,
Wyclef Jean and many more, and 80,000 voices
from across America, was made for a minimal donation
over the Internet.
From that effort and the joy of helping others,
Sue founded KidsCharities.org, the first worldwide
built website benefiting the children of the world.
KidsCharities.org is a non-profit umbrella organization,
that donates 100% of its online donations to various
children's charities including: Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation, Special Olympics Nevada, City of Hope,
Planet Hope, Reggie Jackson's Mr. October Foundation
For Kids, Chances for Children and several more.
Thus far, KidsCharities.org, continues to thrive
and grow, thanks to sponsorships from Wells Fargo
Foundation, Yahoo!, National Airlines and vegas.com.
Sue is the mother of a son, Beau Devin (b. Feb
8, 1991), and she is a licensed pilot, enjoys traveling,
thoroughbred breeding and racing and scuba diving.
She continues to stay active in her community.
