Please help us support Ava and her family. Ava, almost 5 is in the fight of her life as she faces an inoperable brain tumor and a tumor on her pelvis. Ava has been given limited options as she has been battling cancer for over 3 years. She recently qualified for an experimental vaccine trial in Houston, Texas which requires extensive travel multiple times per month.

On Wednesday May 2, 2012 there will be a fundraiser to help alleviate the financial burden for the family of this extraordinary little girl.  It’s called, “Rock 4 Ava” taking place at the Crescent Ballroom, in Downtown Phoenix.

In addition musical entertainment being provided by incredible local talent including Roger Clyne of the Peacemakers, Vinyl Station, Obediah Parker, Angela Anne and Tim & Willy from KMLE Country 108 we are also raising donations through a silent auction table with 100% of the proceeds going to Ava and her family.

Please help raise the funds to assist Ava and her family with travel and medical expenses by donating an auction item and please join us at Crescent Ballroom for a great evening to help a family in need.  You can purchase tickets in advance at www.crescentphx.com or at the door for only $12.
