An extremely important event is happening this Thursday, May 10th at 7:00PM at The Marquis. Of course all of the local music events that we support are held very closely to our hearts but this Thursday, with the help of our friends in Della, Monroe Monroe, Mr. Right, and The Marquis Theater, we’re able to support something that is literally going to be life changing. “Fighting For Fessler” is an event in support of a good friend of mine, Luke Mehrens’, girlfriend Abby Fessler. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this beautifully strong woman a few times, but last month Abby was unexpectedly diagnosed with  T-CELL Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). T-ALL is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood that progresses rapidly, malignant white blood cells continuously multiply and are overproduced in the bone marrow. She is currently receiving treatment at the Aurora Medical Center.

It progresses rapidly and that’s why it’s so important to get the best treatment possible, as soon as possible. We’re hoping we can help with that. Thanks to the kind hearts at The Marquis Theater, all of the proceeds from ticket sales and the auction are going to Abby to help Fessler fight. We’re all aware of how quickly doctor bills add up, we’re all hoping to help Abby out with that by going to this event. Keep in mind that Abby is only 28 years old and this cause is not something that’s only supporting local music, it’s about supporting her in her fight against cancer. This is an all-ages show, so bring everyone. There will also be a photo booth and a silent auction with all kinds of really great surprises. Please share this event with all of your friends, family, everyone, try to get as many people as you possibly can to come to this because we’re all fighting for Fessler and our music family needs every ounce of support that they can get.

Doors at 7:00PM, show at 8:00PM.
