About Amped 4-A-Cure
Amped 4-A-Cure’s mission is simple: to raise funds to support cancer research through the universal language of music. Some of the ways planned to raise funds is through mini concerts to be held in cities nationwide; partnering with existing concert series, music inspired events, and select live music venues to make all of their events official “Amped 4-A-Cure” events to raise funds and awareness; a major concert in December featuring both major recording artists and independents as a finale for their 2009 Million Dollar Campaign; and sales of compilation CDs. Donations and proceeds generated from fundraising efforts go towards Amped-4-A-Cure’s 2009 beneficiary, The American Association for Cancer Research. To learn more, visit www.amped4acure.org
