The Lauren's Light Concert for Cancer is being held Thursday, February 3 at the former Cielo night club space (3390 Mary Street) at the Mayfair at the corner of Mary and Florida. Lauren's Light, based in Coconut Grove, was created in honor Lauren Feinswog Millin, who died of cancer at age 33; her parents Malvina and Ben Feinswog run the charity.Lauren's Light's mission is to empower families with young children, in which a parent has been diagnosed with cancer, through resources and information, to better address medical, psychological and administrative challenges. They provide educational resources, arrange for professional counseling for the families, parents and children, and provide other important services. Lauren's Light has already helped make a huge difference in the lives of numerous families in South Florida in which a parent of young children has cancer.
The Concert for Cancer features award-winning songwriter and folk singer Ellen Bukstel (at right), who pop star Michael Bolton called "an amazing artist and spirit." Complimentary food and beverages and a fabulous silent and live auction (a cruise, hotel packages, top restaurants, jewelry, sports, services, and more) and raffle are included part of the evening.Tickets are $40 in advance, $50 at the door. To buy tickets now, please go to www.laurenslight.org or call 305-285-1202.
The food was donated by La Bottega, Perricone's, Maroosh, Milam's Market, House of Frost, to name a few. 100% of the proceeds from this event go to Lauren's Light.
