Hello Harvard Cancer Society,
Just wanted to pass along a really fun benefit event coming up:
Upstage Lung Cancer is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support for lung cancer research through performing arts. On April 27th they are hosting their annual Sing Out benefit, Sensational 60's, at the Boston Red Sox Jimmy Fund Auditorium. Sensational '60s will feature several a capella groups including the NU Downbeats. There will be a $15 student discount. Proceeds for this show go towards lung cancer research and it should be a wonderful experience for all guests!

Register a child to help them through and beyond their parent's cancer with a week long camp and year round support! Please, if you know any child whose parent has or had suffered from this terrible disease, inform them of this life changing experience.
