 Reba McEntire will headline a
benefit concert at Depot Square in
Gallatin, Tenn. on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m.,
to fund lung cancer research at Vanderbilt-Ingram
Cancer Center.
Organized by singer and lung-cancer patient Dawn
Sears, the show will also feature performances by
The Time Jumpers (of which Sears is a member) and
Riders In The Sky. Gold-winning Olympic figure
skater Scott Hamilton, a cancer survivor himself,
will emcee the event.
Vanderbilt physicians Leora Horn and Pierre
Massion will speak briefly on goals and advances
in cancer research.
“I am on a mission to help fund lung cancer
research at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer
Center,” states Sears. “A benefit
concert is the best way I know how to do that. It
is my mission to bring more hope to those of us
with lung cancer. I was diagnosed with lung
cancer over a year ago and I now have a greater
understanding of the daily battle and challenges
that people with cancer of any kind face.”
Sears, a former recording artist for Warner
Brothers Records and Decca Records and a longtime
harmony singer in Vince Gill’s band, was
diagnosed with lung cancer in February 2013 and
continues in treatment.www.DawnSearsAndFriends.com
