Tumornators Search for Cure with Rock 4 Research Concertatosis
The Tumornators and Jeff Francoeur of the Atlanta Braves present the 2nd Annual Rock4Research benefit concert on Nov. 28 at Wild Bill’s. The concert features Matt Moore opening for headliner Rhett Akins.
Akins is known for country hits including “What They’re Talking About,” “That Ain’t My Truck” and the No. 1 hit “Don’t Get Me Started.”
Francoeur, Matt Stinchcomb of the NFL, Morten Anderson and other sports stars will spend time with guests at a VIP party beforehand. VIPs will also be able to enjoy catered food sponsored by Kroger, Chick-Fil-A and Chili’s. VIPs will also have the opportunity to bid in a silent auction featuring signed sports memorabilia and other exclusive items; VIPs are guaranteed to receive signed picture of Francoeur.
All funds raised by The Tumornators are directly donated to The Children’s Tumor Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to raising money and awareness for the painful illnesses Neurofibromatosis and Schwannomatosis.
Francoeur has supported The Tumornators since their beginnings in 2007, and has donated $500 to the Children’s Tumor Foundation™ on behalf of The Tumornators for every home run he hit in his 2007 season with the Atlanta Braves.
Rock4Research tickets will be available at the door and online, costing $20 for the VIP party and $10 general admission. The VIP party begins at 8:00 p.m., and doors open for general admission at 7:00 p.m.
The first 50 guests will receive a Rock4Research T-shirt signed by Francoeur.

I probably will be heading out Thursday morning driving out west to Palo Pinto area, never been there. I think its 2 hrs west of Fort Worth. Hope all is makng it through this period of time. I heard that even Santa is looking for a bail out. Gee- I hope not, I have a list for him.

Hi John,
Looks like no one is on chat at the same time. I guess we will make it there at the some time sooner or later. All is well here. I think we have everything we need for Thanksgiving. Of course it is always that last thing you need. I could use a bail out. You think we can get one?
