We are very excited about a special event happening at the Evergreen Centre on Saturday, October 3rd at 7:30 pm! The Nipawin Regional Health Foundation is teaming up with the Performing Arts Group to host Keith Alessi with his “Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me, but Banjos Saved My Life”, concert!!
Keith is an accountant, entrepreneur, cancer survivor and musician who shares his life story and tells how humour, a positive attitude and learning to play the banjo, greatly influenced his recovery! And the really great part is that Keith donates 100% of the proceeds to organizations in the community which are involved in health care and the performing arts!!
The Health Foundation will use their funding towards furnishing the Nipawin Hospital’s Chemotherapy Room which enables patients to receive their treatment locally instead of having to travel to other centres which can greatly benefit their comfort during treatment and recovery. Our Performing Arts Group will put their funding towards programming for children in the community! What great gifts! Anyone who has been touched by cancer in any way will be inspired by Keith Alessi’s performance.
Gather some friends and come out to enjoy an evening of story-telling, music and laughter and maybe even a few tears as well! We look forward to welcoming you on October 3rd!❤️🎶🪕❤️
