The event brings together a rare combination of popular local musicians. Headlined by The New York Players, local musicians including Garland Nelson of Soul Session, Justin Joyner of Gravity, J Yager of the Audiostars, Jill Hughes of Body & Soul, Chris Dollard of City Rhythm, Todd Hanhurst of the Refrigerators and Becky Walton of Big Medicine–all will join the band on stage for a variety of musical collaborations.
In addition to live music, the event will also feature food, drinks and a silent auction with all proceeds supporting Lexi’s treatment and related expenses. Event details can be found on Facebook. Donations are also being accepted via the online giving site Give Forward with a fundraising goal of $10,000.
The event supports Lexi Gurka, just 3 years old and recently diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma. The treatment plan consists of two and a half years of chemotherapy. Early detection has given Lexi a good prognosis. The support from the community will help the family with large medical bills already incurring as well as the emotional support needed to battle this disease.
“I am blown away by the love and support we are receiving from all of our family and friends,” said Tom, father of Lexi. “Please know that your thoughts and prayers are keeping us strong in this tough time.”
