Concert to Conquer Cancer!


After a couple of months of some serious planning, our second fundraising event is ready to be unveiled to the world: The Concert to Conquer Cancer!

The concert will be held at the El Mocambo at 464 Spadina Ave. on Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 - two days before what would have been my dad's 55th birthday. Doors will open at 8PM, and cover will be $10 with one item of canned food (or alternatively, $12 without a can of food).

The Elmo has generously waived all rental and deposit costs, and will allow us to retain all of the money collected for donation to Team Hendy's Ride to Conquer Cancer and the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation. All canned goods collected from this event will be donated, and all money collected from the bar will go to Serving Charities. All in all, a concert for a cause!

Foxfire, BF Soul, and Gay will be performing, with other bands TBA.

To make this event a true success, first and foremost, we will need good company (that's where you all come in)! A lot of work has gone into the planning and organizing of this event (big shout out to Alyssa), so please come out, spread the word, and show your support for all of those who worked so hard to make this happen, and for all of us who are challenging ourselves to change the outcomes of cancer!
