Los Angeles, CA - Shout! Factory in conjunction with Walters & Associates will donate $1.00 of each "Remember the '70s Greatest Hits LIVE" DVD sold in the Los Angeles area to the local chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Proceeds from all local retail and Shout! Factory web site sales now through Labor Day 2006 will be donated to MDA to help send kids with muscular dystrophy to summer camp, fund research, and pay for durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs and leg braces.

Revisit the classic pop hits of the early '70s through these rare performances from the CBS television show "Rollin' On The River."  The show first premiered as a TV special in 1970 and starred Kenny Rogers and the First Edition.  With overwhelming response, CBS kept it going as a weekly music/variety series.  This DVD, on sale at shoutfactory.com and participating retailers for $14.98, features classic memorable performances by Jim Croce, Al Green, Bill Withers, Ike and Tina Turner and many others.

Since its founding in 1950, the Muscular Dystrophy Association has become one of the nation's largest and best-known voluntary health agencies. MDA provides comprehensive medical services to tens of thousands of people with neuromuscular diseases at some 230 hospital-affiliated clinics across the country, including one locally at UCLA. The Association's worldwide research program, which funds some 400 individual scientific investigations annually, represents the largest single effort to advance knowledge of neuromuscular diseases and to find cures and treatments for them. In addition to funding ground-breaking research, MDA also funds local support groups and a summer camp for kids with muscular-wasting diseases at The Painted Turtle Camp in Lake Hughes.  MDA is the first nonprofit recognized by the American Medical Association with a Lifetime Achievement Award for significant and lasting contributions to the health and welfare of humanity.
