Benefit is to raise funds to help Waukegan Firefighter.

Pancreatic CancerImage by jasoneppink via FlickrFirefighter/Paramedic Kevin Oldham, has recently been diagnosed with advanced and inoperable pancreatic cancer. He is at the young age of 33, a loving husband; father of two young girls (ages 3 years and 10 months).Currently, Kevin is unable to perform his dream job of fighting fires and saving lives, but instead must undergo aggressive and exhausting chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Additionally, he has lost the ability to work his side job and Katie, his wife,was a successful entrepreneur but is now able to work minimally due to the increased responsibilities at home.Unfortunately, treatments and cancer medications are extraordinarily expensive and, compounded with lost income,have become a financial burden for Kevin's family.
This benefit is to raise funds to help support Kevin and his family through this difficult time.This event will host a variety of local band talent, opportunities to get your "Hawk" on, silent auction, raffle tickets, & t-shirts.
