Summer uses her music & her voice as a stepping stone to help bring awareness to larger world issues such as child abuse, addiction & poverty. She has currently teamed up with projectAK47.com,  lifeisgood.com & is the co-founder of DeNali Recovery Centers. "With music, creativity & hope, there are endless possibilities to change the world”.
