THANK YOU Allison for designing the poster, THANK YOU James River Press for printing the lovely posters and hand bills printed at a reduced rate, THANK YOU to the many wonderful musicians that showcased their talent at the show, THANK YOU WRIR 97.3 for helping get the word out and promoting the concert and BCF on the air, THANK YOU Gallery 5 for opening up your space to the show, THANK YOU Grant for bringing the bands together, and finally THANK YOU to all of you who attended the concert and helped me raise $900 in one night!Here are some photos from the night... enjoy!
Me behind the BCF table...
WRIR had a table as well and put purple ribbons on the WRIR buttons they gave out -- PURPLE for PREVENTION!

Herschel Stratego opened up the night with his always entertaining and very funny one man show of humor and lyrics....
Next was Zac Hryciak and the Jungle Beat ...a very talent group of young guys and gal -- I love the violin mixed in with the drums!
Next was Liza Kate with her beautiful voice, lyrics, and guitar...
Then....ekkk -- me! I took a moment on stage to tell everyone more about BCF, my part in their Climb Against the Odds, and the materials we had available on the table...as well as a few of the astounding facts about breast cancer.
Now for more great music!Johnathan Vassar and the Speckled Bird was up next -- the instrument ensemble for this band is quite impressive! Guitar (a very pretty one I must add), banjo, chelo, accordion, harmonica, mandolin, and xylophone (or something like one)!
And then, for the grand finale -- David Shultz and the Skyline!
The girls --Kelly, Jess, Kristin -- up front and center during "Already There" (our fave).
I know it's a little dark, but check out the crowd....!
THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE!
YAY -- CONCERT FOR THE CLIMB WAS A SUCCESS!
Climb On,
Jess
