ABOUT JON STOLL
Jon Stoll was known as a driving force for pop music. A Tony Award Winner, Stoll’s Fantasma Productions promoted concerts, and staged trade shows throughout Florida, the Southeast and other major venues, including in Las Vegas. Fantasma also was responsible for booking acts for SunFest, Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood. Stoll, however, never forgot his adopted hometown. In 1984 he bought the Carefree Center, a derelict movie theater and bowling alley on South Dixie Highway. He began a foreign film series and brought small concerts into the theater. He opened an art gallery and a small restaurant, and the old bowling alley became Comedy Corner, one of the top venues for live comedy in the nation and a proving ground for budding young comics such as Dan Whitney, alias Larry the Cable Guy. By 1987, Fantasma had grown to 50 employees who booked and managed more than 500 concerts a year. After hurricanes in 2005 damaged the Carefree Center beyond repair, he bought an abandoned church just north of Southern Boulevard, off Parker Avenue, and created The Theatre, another small concert hall.
In 2000, he was named Independent Promoter of the Year at the 12th Annual Pollstar Concert Industry Awards in Las Vegas, and in 2007 he served as president of the National Association of Concert Promoters. He socialized with the celebrities including Frank Sinatra; Liza Minnelli; Sting; Elton John; Bruce Springsteen; Kris Kristofferson; Willie Nelson; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; the Red Hot Chili Peppers; and Faith Hill.
“For those who knew my father, he was a bigger than life character – full of passion, ambition and love for all of his family and friends. It’s amazing to finally bring an event to fruition in his spirit to combat cancer and, moreover, the stubborn evolving brain cancer that took his life. This event will be a real celebration not to be missed with surprise rock n’ roll performers paying the tribute to their dear friend, my father, ” said Jesse Stoll.
ABOUT THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. As the largest voluntary health organization, the Society's efforts have contributed to a 20 percent decline in cancer death rates in the U.S. since 1991, and a 50 percent drop in smoking rates. Thanks in part to our progress nearly 14 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. As we celebrated our 100th birthday in 2013, we're determined to finish the fight against cancer. We're finding cures as the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more.
