2020. What can we say? No matter who you are, this year has been hard for you. While we all have been affected in different ways, we have all been affected.
But, here's an unfortunate and sad truth: Cancer doesn't care about 2020.
And can you even BEGIN to imagine how hard this year has been for children fighting Cancer and their families? There is no break. There is no "time out". There is no "not this year". So that's where WE come in.
For the past SEVEN years, The "Andy Mac and Friends" Holiday Benefit has helped those little warriors and their families.
It all started with one little girl, and one small idea. Let me tell you about my niece, Fiona. Fiona was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 2. She fought LIKE A BOSS, for years, and is now a healthy 11 year old!
Once she was in remission, I asked my twin sister (Carrie, Fiona's mother), "How can I help families like ours? Who can I raise money for?". She immediately answered, "Saint Baldrick's. They are the BEST!"
So, I did. And we're now in our eighth year! And we're incredibly proud to say that we have raised a total of $64,434! We are so proud of that. Every PENNY donated goes directly to St. Baldrick's. I have personally seen the kindness and support that St. Baldrick's provides.
So here's the deal this year: No "goal". No total that we push to reach. Why? Because we know what this year has done. 2020 is a new monster. And we need to fight it together. So whatever we are able to give, we give. And something tells me St. Baldrick's will be very grateful no matter what!
Covid or no Covid, we're alive, we're grateful, and we're going to push as hard as we can to help these children and their families, just like we have for the past seven years!
Some of you may not be able to donate this year. And we love you for even visiting this page. Thank you!If you can, as always, we are incredibly grateful.
If you can't, God bless you and yours. And may we ALL have a better 2021!
Thank you so much. For anything and everything.
Happy Holidays!
-Andy Mac and Friends
p.s.-Sadly, because of Covid, we are not able to have the live show this year. And yes, we debated doing a virtual concert, but with Covid numbers rising, we want to be respectful and keep everyone as safe as possible.
