Patrick Snider Benefit Concert Press Release

MEDIA ADVISORY


Bands from North Carolina and surrounding states come together to help Raise Funds for medical expenses for local Cancer patient Patrick Snider.


Local college students and bands join the Patrick Snider Fund and the Lance Armstrong Foundation to Inspire and Empower People Affected by Cancer


WHAT: Come out and join us as we team up to fight cancer by raising funds through a concert. The Strikeout Cancer Save a Life: Patrick Snider Benefit Concert allows individuals in the Charlotte area to do something bold in the face of cancer by supporting a local high school baseball player as he fights testicular cancer, along with lung and brain cancer. While enjoying some great music, you can help with his medical expenses, as well as support the mission of the Lance Armstrong Foundation to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. Concert production is being done by Uptown Event Productions. Tickets for the concert are $10 pre-sales and $15 at the door (If you plan on buying your tickets at the door we ask that you use cash, for if you use a credit card, Patrick gets less of that money). Some bands will be selling the CD’s and merchandise at the event, with some bands donating a percent of their sales to the Patrick Snider Fund. There will also be a 50/50 raffle going on, as well as a regular raffle of some really nice prizes at the concert. There will be a silent auction going on as well, consisting of sports goods. There will also be Livestrong wristbands for sale. There will be Papa Johns Pizza for sale at the event as well as a boatload of other things. We are running a bus from Salisbury up to the Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte for the benefit concert and back. If you are interested there is a concert ticket package that is $22; this includes your ticket to the concert plus the bus ride there and back. We are also planning on running a Party Bus from Wingate University, in Wingate N.C. to the concert. All busing is being done by Charlotte Party Charters.
