BANGOR, Maine — Comedian Bob Marley will perform at an event from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 29, at the Bangor Civic Center to benefit Channel 7 News anchorwoman Cindy Michaels’ brother John Sovis of Charleston, who recently was diagnosed with cancer. The event also will feature music from Chris Ross and a silent auction.
Michaels said her brother received a cancer diagnosis about a month ago. He will travel to Houston for alternative treatment, which is not covered by insurance — hence the need for fundraising.
“I can’t fix him, but I can help ease the financial impact,” Michaels said.
The fundraising goal is $50,000.
Auction items include an autographed book by Stephen King, an overnight stay and dinner for two at Hollywood Casino Bangor, a University of Maine Black Bears signed football helmet, basketball jersey and goalie stick, gift cards for meals at area restaurants, and a pair of tickets and VIP parking passes to any of the Waterfront Concerts.
Tickets are $25 and available at http://www.Ticketmaster.com and at the Bangor Civic Center box office, 947-5555. Tickets also are available at the door. To donate an item or service to the auction, email Michaels at cmichaels@wvii.com.
Cindy Michaels has done many feature stories in this area regarding families in need. It’s time for us to show our support and thanks to her and help her in he r time of need.
Come weekend, I rush to theaters to check the shows and book the tickets for the same. After http://www.goodseattickets.com came into my life, I said good-bye to last minute rush in the heavy traffic. I book the tickets from my laptop from anywhere I wish and tickets are delivered at my door.
