SU4C, now in its eighth year, is a charity organization dedicated to funding care, cures, research, education, and prevention for all types of cancer. This is accomplished through the art and enjoyment of sailing and other terrific events. SU4C has been able to assist local Hospice organizations, the local Cancer Care Hospital, children afflicted with cancer, and both individuals and families struggling financially while battling cancer.
The Troublemakers will be on stage delivering the music audiences want to hear. The lineup includes the area’s most talented, in demand and seasoned veteran players. Ronnie Lewis plays the drums and handles lead vocals. Sitting next to him is Don “DC” Culp who plays the drums as well. Together they create a devastating pocket. The always busy – and in high demand – Dan Sherer holds down the keyboard/piano duties. Bill Light handles most of the lead guitar work and backing vocals. The band is rounded out by the younger but already seasoned Josh White (rhythm/lead guitar) and Marty Moroney on bass. The Troublemakers play music and have fun – that’s actually their only real rule. Come dance to some great music for a great cause!
This event precedes the Sails Up 4 Cancer Regatta on Saturday, June 22. The Sailing Instructions will be handed out, followed by a brief Q&A session with the Race Committee, then it’s time to party! Come play and listen under the big tent. Free parking. For more information, please visit http://su4c.org.
