A Message from Olympus Guitars Australia
We are deeply moved by Jason’s courage and by the community that has rallied around him. Captured Live is more than a fundraiser — it is a celebration of life, art, resilience and the power of people coming together.
It is our honour to contribute to this night and to support Jason, his family, and everyone affected by Neuroendocrine Cancer.
One night. One celebration. One purpose.
