LifeKnocks throws a 1-2 punch back to the world. Before Million Dollar Baby, The Contender, and Cinderella Man, there was LifeKnocks! Congratulations to the LifeKnocks project!!!

The LifeKnocks dance ensemble has been selected to perform for Sunoco's Welcome America celebration on June 27th at 6:30pm at the Philadelphia Art Museum. The Life Knocks ensemble will be dancing to the re-release of "Rocky II".

Further congratulations to the LifeKnocks project for being selected as the number one project by the University of Pennsylvania School of Law to create a 501(c)3 corporation. This non-profit organization's mission is to create a summer theater camp to send children with lupus and other autoimmune diseases.

LifeKnocks co-producers Cynthia DiClaudio and James Weiner are thrilled to participate in Sunoco's Welcome America upcoming event. In October of 2004, through Welcome America, LifeKnocks participated in the Bernard Hopkins Middleweight Boxing Championships World Parade and city officials were impressed with the ensemble's teamwork, choreography, professionalism, and creativity! Sunoco's Welcome America will once again enable the LifeKnocks project to shine in raising awareness about Lupus and other autoimmune diseases.

The LifeKnocks song written by DiClaudio, recorded at Gamble and Huff International Records studio, and released through WDAS at a previous Lupus Loop event will be re-released on June 27 at the Welcome America event.

We welcome everyone to attend this event. See pictures and sponsors.
