Please come out and help a young 23 yr. old girl (Whitney Webster) who has a brain tumor. She is a very dear friend to many of us, and so is her Mom (Sandi Donnely)! We have known this girl since she was about 8 yrs. old and has grown into a wonderful young woman, loved by many! Her surgery is 3 day's after the benefit! They have to see a surgeon in San Francisco who is one of the top specialist's in the country, and as you all know, that is expensive! They are already thousands of dollars in the hole and the gas is to get there is not cheap either! We are putting on a VERY special show to help raise money for them. There will be great bands and acoustic acts, great food, and all kinds of cool things to purchase or raffle for! It's going to be an amazing night! Let's all pull together to help out a very special person in our lives, and help pay her bills, so she can get better! There is also an account set for donations if you wish to help, but can't make it, just let us know! Thank you all so much for support so far! WE LOVE YOU!!!
Your friends, Lauren, Shawn, Kevin, Rob & Remi - Wicked Hickie
