On Saturday, April 20 at Austin’s Fuel Room in Libertyville, Advocate Condell Medical Center will be rocking out for a great cause with a very special guest—NBC’s ‘Biggest Loser’ winner, Danni Allen.
The hospital is hosting “Advocate Condell Rocks the Cure,” a concert to benefit its Cancer Care program that will feature two bands that include executives from Advocate Health Care and Advocate Condell Medical Center, as well as Allen—a Wheeling resident.
Allen jumped at the chance to perform with the bands. “I love singing, and this concert is for such a good cause,” Allen said, who will perform lead vocals on a number of songs, including “Hit Me with Your Best Shot.”
The concert was the brainchild of Scott Powder, senior vice president of strategic growth and planning at Advocate Health Care and Matt Primack, vice president of clinical institutes and business development at Advocate Condell. Both executives play guitar in rock bands, and when they finally connected on the idea of a concert to benefit the hospital, the creative sparks flew.
“We just thought it would be great to have our bands play, represent Advocate Health and try to support a good cause,” said Primack, a Chicago resident whose band, McLovin, has played charity and fundraising events in Chicago for over 5 years. “This event is really about the spirit of giving and support of Advocate. I think Scott would agree that both of our bands are honored to be included in such an event,”
Powder, a Vernon Hills resident whose band Mid Life Crisis will also play the event, added, “Me and my band members all live in the community served by Advocate Condell, so anything we can do to benefit its cancer care program is a good thing. It should be a great night of music from two high energy bands.”
Proceeds from the event will benefit Advocate Condell’s Cancer Care program, which provides a full spectrum of cancer care services to the communities of Lake County. To purchase tickets, visit www.advocatehealth.com/rocks-the-cure or call 847-990-5843.
