Steve Eisenburg, a self-employed carpenter and musician and well-respected member of the Bainbridge, NY community, has been recently diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer that has metastasized to his spinal cord and brain. He is no longer able to work and is undergoing various treatments, including chemotherapy.
Members of Steve's musical community have banded together to help raise funds, not for his medical bills, which are staggering, but for his 'daily bread' and other living expenses and--just as importantly--to lift his spirits. Community support is good medicine.
A fundraising event will be held on Sunday, February 22 from noon till 5 pm at the Sidney Community Cultural Arts Center, featuring over a dozen performers and many volunteers.
It is called 'StoopFest for Steve' in tribute to a free summer concert series he has hosted for many years called, "Concerts on the Stoop" in downtown Bainbridge.
There are several ways to contribute to Steve's fund:
GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/07d7ec7d8 (StoopFest-for-Steve).
We are also seeking Gift Certificates/Cards/Baskets from businesses and individuals for on-site raffles.
GIFT BASKETS CAN BE DROPPED OFF THE DAY OF THE CONCERT ANYTIME AFTER 10:30 am or arrangements can be made by contacting JO JO at jojorussell297@gmail.com
Admission is a $20 suggested cash donation (ATM on site).
Come and go at your convenience.
There will be snacks, beverages, and baked goods available, as well as a beer-and-wine concession from Bittersweet Farms Brewery.
