Jazz Concert, benefitting Dan’s
House of Hope
Hosted by Xavier High School
May 29, 2012
We had a terrific turnout of over 300 people at the May 29,
2012, jazz concert hosted by Xavier High School. This wonderful event was
organized by Xavier HS class of 2013 student Connor Pietrzak, with free will
donations to Dan’s House of Hope totaling almost $3,700.00. Thank you to
Connor, and to all of the Xavier HS teachers and staff who supported him,
without whose help this would not have been possible.
Thank you also to the guest artists, Christine Granatella
and Jose Encarnacion, to the St. Joseph MS and Xavier HS artists and their
amazing directors, Kate Hardt and Ian McKnight, and to all of the event
sponsors. Also a special thanks to Ann & Steve McKnight for
sponsoring the event programs, and to Bill Gellerman of Bill Gellerman
Photography for donating his time and energy to capture images of the evening.
Finally, thank you to all of you who attended the event, and
for your support of DHOH. You are helping to raise awareness about the
stark realities of Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) cancer, and to ultimately
making a difference in the lives of those vastly underserved and mostly
unrecognized AYAs who are in the fight against cancer. The DHOH Board of
Directors and all of our volunteers are deeply indebted to you.
Warm regards,
Roger & Dawn Kenneavy
Co-founders, DHOH
