Hugs for Lizbeth Sweet Sixteen Concert and Transmission Fundraiser
Come join us for a fun and heartwarming afternoon at the Hugs for Lizbeth Sweet Sixteen Concert and Transmission Fundraiser! Liz has a handicap van that need a transmission repair. We would like to raise $5500 to cover the cost. Liz has Huntington's Disease and needs this van. She has been home 16 years in April against all odds. Let's celebrate Lizbeth’s special day with great music and good vibes, all while supporting a meaningful cause. Bring your friends and enjoy the tunes from these great artists: Ed Sheer (Love Dogs), Brad Faucher & Session450 (house band), Ilana Katz Katz, Cindy Lou & Friends, Sweet Wednesday (Dave Falk & Lisa Housman), Alan Arena & Volume Control, and closing the show with an all-star sit-in jam - you'll never know who might show up!
