Colon Cancer Coalition benefit concert

Posted by admin on Nov 22nd, 2009 | 2 comments home title

Last Wednesday I had the honor of speaking at a benefit concert for the Colon Cancer Coalition. Held at the Fine Line Music Cafe, the event featured local musicians Tim Mahoney, Toni Lindgren and Janani Logendran. I’m happy to report that the event was a HUGE success!

Promoting colon cancer prevention with Avril Jones, President of Maverick Consulting, and Mistress of Ceremonies Roshini Rajkumar

Colon cancer survivors spoke throughout the night, and I also shared my family’s experience. Roshini Rajkumar, the Mistress of Ceremonies, interviewed me onstage about my platform:

I’m already looking forward to the Colon Cancer Coalition‘s upcoming events–an art benefit on December 4th and the Twin Cities Get Your Rear in Gear 5K on May 16th! The Coalition does amazing work to help prevent colon cancer in Minnesota, raising funds to increase awareness and screening and overseeing the “Get Your Rear in Gear” 5K races around the country. What an amazing organization! I’m thrilled to volunteer for them throughout the year.

The benefit concert would not have been successful without the work of Avril Jones, president of the non-profit business Maverick Championz, who organized the event. Avril started the business to encourage her daughters and youth to give back to their community. A huge THANK YOU to Avril, as well as to my sponsors at Corepower Yoga for donating a month’s worth of yoga classes to the event’s silent auction!
