Benefit will help raise funds to fight cancer Benefit will help raise funds to fight cancer by Distie Carstensen Plans are underway to bring a new and exciting event to campus next fall. On the Monday of Labor Day weekend from noon to 8 p.m., there will be a benefit concert to raise money for the Cancer Treatment Research Foundation. There will be a variety of bands playing throughout the day. The goal is to make this an annual event.
Cancer is something many people have to face every day.
With the event in its planning stages, members of the Simpson community are encouraged to join the organizing committee to make this a big success. The hopes are to make this a big enough event to have participation from other college campuses across Iowa. For more information contact Avila at x3594 or Pat Maher at x3811.
