Proceeds go to The Nikki Leach Foundation. They provide educational scholarships to young adults who have cancer (age 17-25) so that they can have a normal college experience.
This the 3rd year we've done this. It is in memory of Carly Anne Driscoll. In early 2009, Carly was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the soft tissue, most commonly found in children. She fought this for a long time, but finally passed away in 2010. She was a part of the hardcore community here and was one of the nicest people I have ever met. If you can make it to the show or make a donation to The Nikki Leach Foundation or any other charity that is striving to find a cure for cancer research please do. We have done a pot luck for the past couple years and will do one again this year. If you can make the trip bring some food and it's a great way to meet new people.
