Wicked Helps Organize Cancer Research Benefit Concert

Wicked Pictures, along with EME Productions, joined together at a nightclub here to organize and support the Indie Music for Life concert to benefit breast cancer research last week at Felt.

The event featured local groups such as the Elena James Band, Velvet Stylus and Maria McNeil.

Donations collected will go toward furthering breast cancer research and for financing Indie Music for Life’s music therapy program for pediatric cancer patients, organizers said.

The Indie Music for Life organization was begun by its founder and cancer survivor Vicki Blankenship who first organized the benefit concerts and compilation CDs of local artists in 2004 to benefit cancer research.
