Second Annual Benefit for Jane

04/17/2008

The 2nd Annual Benefit for Jane held on April 17, was an memorable evening for all.  People from all over came out to support the very special cause, and the music was top-notch!  Volunteers whose lives have been touched by Kidney Cancer were instrumental in adding to the smooth flow of the event.  In addition to great music, the evening also featured a silent auction and raffle, where prizes included tickets to see a Boston Red Sox game. The event not only helped to raise more awareness of the disease, but also a modest amount of funds for the Kidney Cancer Association.  A special thank you to all those who attended.  Event organizer and musican, Adam Payne, started the event last year in memory of his mother who lost her battle with kidney cancer.  He wanted to do something using his musical talent in honor of his mother’s life.  Summing up his emotions after the evening, Adam said, “The most special aspect of this event was talking with many people whose lives have been affected by kidney cancer or some form of cancer – hearing their stories and having their support makes it that much more worth the effort of doing this.”
