The course is uncertain, and the fear of what tomorrow holds is a burden no one should have to live with,” says Chad Leathers, co-founder of the Tumornators. “The UGA Tumornators are working hard to assure that one day no one has is left asking: what the NF!?”
As with all of UGA Tumorrnators events, the proceeds from the concert will go to the Children’s Tumor Foundation, the world’s leading research organization on NF.
Doors open at 9:30 p.m. with Drew Dixon playing at 10:00. Tickets are $5 and can be bought at the door or in advance at www.athensmusic.net.
