THE SHIRTS FOR A CURE PROJECT ANNOUNCES TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY CONCERT WITH TITLE FIGHT
THE SHIRTS FOR A CURE PROJECT ANNOUNCES TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY CONCERT WITH TITLE FIGHT
ALL PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT BREAST CANCER PATIENTS
NEW YORK, NY (May 3, 2013) –- The Shirts For A Cure Project (SFAC) is proud to announce their special Ten Year Anniversary Celebration, a boat cruise concert on Sunday, June 16th, around Manhattan featuring Pennsylvania hardcore act Title Fight. All proceeds from the evening will benefit women battling breast cancer via the Syrentha Savio Endowment (SSE).
Since its inception in 2002, SSE has worked with clinics across the country from Los Angeles to New Brunswick, NJ and countless places in between to provide chemotherapy, anti-nauseous drugs and other financial assistance to underprivileged women fighting breast cancer. The endowment was founded by punk rock photographer Mark Beemer as a way to honor his wife who had recently passed due to complications of her own battle with breast cancer. As anyone so entrenched in the punk and hardcore community would do, Mark turned to his friends in bands such as The Bouncing Souls, Hot Water Music, Darkest Hour, and Lifetime to give a voice to this important health and social …
Our Indiegogo campaign to fund the re-release of our founder Mark Beemer’s ‘Stealing Time’ book now has 6 days remaining. As I write this, we are $3000 short of our funding goal and desperately NEED YOUR HELP!
We’re asking you all to please post about our ‘Stealing Time’ re-release campaign to your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, personal blog or anywhere else people will see it! Here is a direct link to the campaign where you can find our pitch video, photos, and everything else you need to know!
We’re offering FREE Shirts For A Cure stickers to the first 25 people to send an email to katie.brown@shirtsforacure.com with either a screenshot or link to your ‘Stealing Time’ themed post. Additionally, we’ll select 5 people at random who will also receive one of our custom laminates that were given out at our Annual Charity Dinner.
Additionally, here are some verbiage suggestions if you’re not sure exactly what to say…

“Stealing Time: 23 Years of Punk Images” Re-Release
We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Drexel University’s Music Industry students on a campaign to re-release our founder (and noted photographer) Mark Beemer’s book, Stealing Time: 23 Years of Punk Images. But, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Mark has been a regular fixture on the hardcore and punk scenes for over two decades, and has photographed such renowned bands as Fugazi, The Bouncing Souls, My Chemical Romance, and Rise Against. All proceeds from the sale of the re-release of Stealing Time will go directly to the Syrentha Savio Endowment. We need your help to fund the printing of this incredible collection of images from the past 20 years so that music lovers and breast cancer supporters alike can experience the energetic, spirited images that Mark captured over the span of his celebrated career. Furthermore, sharing these images with the world will allow us to continue to reach so many underprivileged women and provide them with the financial resources they need to access life-saving cancer treatments.
We hope to raise $10,000 to help cover the costs of printing the new edition of Stealing Time. In return for your valuable contributions, …
On Saturday, February 23rd 2013 we held our Eleventh Annual Charity Dinner & Raffle at Clyde’s of Gallery Place in Washington, DC. We really felt the love as it was easily our most attended charity dinner to date with upwards of 140 constitutes in attendance — that’s over thirty more folks than last year’s event. It’s always wonderful being surrounded with so many family members and friends, new and old. We honored two of our long-time volunteers and supporters, Bobby Soup and K8 Hiltz. Also on hand were representatives from Drexel University’s Music Industry program whom we have partnered with on an upcoming campaign and Austin’s Breast Cancer Resource Center, our 2012 donation recipient.
Our raffle has also become increasingly popular in recent years. We’d like to thank the following for their generous donations because without their support, we undoubtably would not have been able to execute the night as we did. So without further adieu, MEGA HUGE THANK YOUS GO OUT TO….
Walt Disney World, Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, Joe Principe of Rise Against, Reed Pop, Charm City Cakes, Paul Kruger and the Baltimore Ravens, Chris Cooley and the Washington …
On Friday, January 18th, our founder Mark Beemer made a visit to one of our past donation recipients, Chicago’s CommunityHealth free medical clinic. It’s because of your support that we’re able to do what we do.
A message from Aleta Rupert, CommunityHealth’s Director of Development:
I wanted to drop a line and thank you once again for taking the time to visit us at the clinic. We truly enjoyed having you and hope you found your time well spent learning more about what has transpired in recent years at CommunityHealth and what lies ahead.
Your vision and philosophy on giving is inspirational and we, and most especially our patients, are extremely grateful to be recipients of your generosity. Thank you and the Syrentha Savio Endowment for your confidence in us, Mark.
