Songs for Gracie - Concert & Silent Auction
Hillhurst United Church, 1227 Kensington Close NW, Calgary, AB
Help us raise funds to support Gracie Swainson and her family through her battle with cancer.
Featuring performances from Gracie’s children (Tristan Campbell, Alicyn Campbell, and Lyndon Campbell), Juno-nominee Al Muirhead, Ellen Doty, Jory Kinjo, Aimee-Jo Benoit, and more.
Doors open at 6pm and concert starts at 7pm Hillhurst United Church, 1227 Kensington Close NW.
Gracie’s Story
Gracie was diagnosed in October 2010 with colon cancer. Surgery and chemotherapy followed until August 2011, when she decided to go ahead with the Sugarbaker procedure. In April 2015, there was further cancer diagnosis. She has undergone radiation and is currently undergoing more chemotherapy. As many of you know, the battle with cancer is not only very difficult emotionally and physically, but financially as well. Not being able to work for extended lengths of time coupled with the costs of medications, treatments, living expenses, and even hospital parking passes starts to add up very quickly. We’d like to raise money for Gracie and her family to not only support them in this difficult time, but also to fund alternative treatment at Pyatt Health Centre in Calgary. If enough money were raised, there would also be the opportunity for her to be part of an experimental treatment from the States.
Tickets available online at: songsforgracie.brownpapertickets.com (Brown Paper Tickets) or in person at all Hedkandi, Butter Beauty Parlour, and Johnny’s Barber locations.
