A local health-advocacy group received a shot in the arm Friday night from a concert raising funds for its cause. The consumer group helps patients deal with medical clinics, billing problems and senior issues. The assignment was to create an organization for a need that wasn't being met. The group now has more than 7,000 dues-paying members throughout the state. Matthis Helmick of Prologic Rebel Base Ensemble said he thinks fund raising is a good cause.
Grassroots organizing kicks ass.
The rock band Hum played with Prologic Rebel Base Ensemble and Kinnet Brothers at the Office beginning at 10 p.m. as a fund-raiser for Champaign County Health Care Consumers. I'm looking forward to hearing what kind of stuff they're gonna play. I think we'll be able to help. Helmick also said he expected a good turnout for the concert. Usually a lot of people go to Hum.
