Charity Case – The Band Who Made a Million Dollars…and Gave It All Away

In 2000, syndicated radio DJ David “Ace” Cannon and producer Eddie Z formed a cover band for a one-off gig. That stunt grew into Charity Case — a high-energy nonprofit rock band dedicated to sending terminally ill children and their families on dream trips to Disney World through the Grin Kids Foundation. Over two decades, this mismatched ensemble headlined shows and opened for Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, LL Cool J, Jason Mraz, and more, raising over $1 million without taking a paycheck. With unseen footage and raw reflections, the film captures their triumphs, struggles, and the family they built chasing purpose over fame.
