Friends of Barry Taylor’s from the copier industry knew Doug Clifford, one of the founding members of Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) and brought him along to one of The Taylor Family Foundation’s (TTFF) early Day in the Park Fundraisers. CCR band member Tom Fogerty had passed away in 1990 from complications due to HIV/AIDS contracted from a tainted blood transfusion during back surgery. Touched by the work the Taylor’s were doing, Clifford offered to host a dinner at his home and a signed platinum record for the highest bidder. The package ended up selling for $18,000!

The next year, Clifford and fellow bandmate Stu Cook, who had formed the band Creedence Clearwater Revisited, offered to perform a concert at the Taylor’s Lafayette home. Despite the decibel check, the neighbors weren’t too thrilled, but ultimately enjoyed from their backyards! However, the package sold well and guests were thrilled to be part of a private concert. In all, the group performed three times to raise money for The Taylor Family Foundation. Twice at the Taylor’s home and then, after the dust had settled, out at Camp Arroyo.
