 In this day and age almost everyone has known
someone who has been affected by cancer. The members of
Eden Hill and
Groove
Corporation are no different. Many family and friends have lost their
battle or are fighting the battle of their lives. With help and support of
the Hamilton Regional Cancer Foundation, many have found the strength to
face this adversity with dignity. The Hamilton Regional Cancer Foundation
staff and volunteers are dedicated professionals who need you and I to
meet their goals. On April 28, 2006, Eden Hill will be hosting the
4th Annual Music For Life benefit. All proceeds from the event will be
donated to the The Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation. This event has
raised over $11,000! For more information check out the Foundation's
website at:
www.jccfoundation.on.ca.
The organizers are pleased to announce that
Graham Rockingham from the Hamilton Spectator has volunteered to emcee our
event. So make sure to mark Friday April 28, 2006 on your calendars.
