According to Concert For A Cure Tri-Chair Lori Seinera,
“In 2002 my best friend Terri Fishman was vacationing and became ill during her travels. When she returned she received the devastating diagnosis that no one wants to hear – ‘You have leukemia.’ Terri fought and beat leukemia. Today, years later our friend Alyson Feaster, Terri and I jumped at the chance to chair an event that would kick off Texas/OU weekend in Dallas, but more importantly raise critical funds to support the mission of Leukemia Texas.
“The 2nd annual Concert for a Cure will be held at The Rustic on Thursday, October 9, from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. to kick off the Red River Rivalry between our beloved schools — UT and OU. During this celebration with Jack Ingram on stage, we will offer a VIP experience like no other including valet, private entrance, bites, beverages, swag bags, and private seating for Jack’s performance. One lucky attendee will also win 2 game day tickets! The event is hosted by Title Sponsor McGladrey.
“We are also proud to recognize Alicia Landry and family of the late Tom Landry. Not only was Coach Landry a fighting Longhorn, but he fought leukemia. It is an honor and privilege to Chair the 2nd annual Concert for a Cure to benefit our favorite charity, Leukemia Texas and we can’t wait to see you there!
“Tickets are $75 each and sponsorship starts at $1,000. Tickets must be purchased in advance at www.LeukemiaTexas.org or by calling 214.265.7393. Attire is country/collegiate chic! Follow us online for exciting updates.
“Leukemia Texas is dedicated to improving the lives of those with leukemia through the funding of research and patient aid. We are the only organization of its kind in Texas where 100% of our funds remain in Texas. Our current program awards up to $1,000 per patient, ten times more than any other similar organization in Texas.”
