LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCE
by
SQUEEZE

Thank you for your interest in the Matt's Promise 3rd annual benefit concert, which will take place on Thursday, May 15, 2008, at Cipriani Wall Street. Each year our event grows, attracting new entertainment (SQUEEZE) and offering fabulous auction items. Along with all the fun, we will honor Darius Goes West, a critically acclaimed documentary by Logan Smalley. This heart-wrenching documentary is the winner of 25 film festival awards. Most important, funds raised through this benefit will allow Matt's Promise to make a difference in the lives of young people affected by terminal illnesses. It is through the commitment of all of us that we can select projects that will have a positive impact and advance the fight against these diseases. To fulfill the promise made by Matt Wiederkehr before his untimely death, we will continue to fund research to assure the most comprehensive, innovative and compassionate care.
