BRAINFEST

Philadelphia area Local Bands TO HOLD Festival TO

RAISE FUNDS FOR THE AMERICAN BRAIN TUMOR ASSOCIATION

Bridgeport, PA, date– Erin Fox of Philadelphia will host BRAINFEST 2016 on May 21st 2016 at The Bridgeport Rib House to raise funds for the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA).

BRAINFEST aims to raise at least $10,000 to help the ABTA to further its mission and support the nearly 700,000 people in the United States living with a brain tumor.

“I organized BrainFest with the help of family and friends to unite local artists for a good cause in benefitting the American Brain Tumor Association because the work they do has helped save lives like mine and many others who have and are still battling a brain tumor diagnosis.” said Erin. “They are the only national organization funding critical brain tumor research and providing important education and support services for brain tumor patients, caregivers and families. Every little bit helps with an effort as large as this…and by helping others, you’re helping yourself become a better person.”
