Remember the Lyrics...
"I am a trained musician who understands the power of music. It can bring a tear to the eye, a bounce in your step or a smile to the face. I have been following Neil Diamond's career since the late 60's and have attended his concerts whenever he's been in Chicago. Each of his songs speaks to me personally, and he's my favorite artist!" Francine is a woman in her fifties from Illinois, and she is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Francine wants to relive her youth one last time with her only sister and see their favorite singer in concert: Neil Diamond! With a show scheduled for July 27 at the United Center, Francine would like an evening out on the town, something she has not gotten to do in a long time due to her illness. She wishes for one evening where she gets to be carefree and have lots of fun. To grant Francine's wish, Fairygodmother Foundation needs funds for concert tickets ($240), a limo ride ($120), and dinner for two ($100). Click here to make a donation or call 312.573.0028 x11.
