Benefit for Kelly Malone announced for 6/7: Social Studies, Royal Baths, Art Museums, Carletta Sue Kay, Sandwitches all to perform
May 27, 2011
If you are at all familiar with DIY arts, crafts, or design, you probably know Kelly Malone, the creator of Indie Mart and Workshop SF. Malone has given a great deal to SF arts and culture, and now, faced with an advanced stage of cancer, she needs our help:
This past April, Kelly was diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer that had spread to non-localized areas as a result of previous battles. Originally dropped from her previous insurance because of the cancer diagnosis, Kelly has had no chance of obtaining new health insurance due to this pre-existing condition. Through this all, Kelly keeps a smile on her face and continues to give back to San Francisco, often devoting much of her own income and sweat to continue businesses that enrich the city. As a successful small business owner, designer, artist, event planner, part of the Treasure Island Music Festival & Noise Pop, Kelly has been able to keep up with medical bills through the ongoing treatments, surgeries, and chemotherapy schedules. But this latest diagnosis requires a treatment path that will exceed her financial abilities, and most likely require her to take a hiatus from her businesses. So she is now asking San Francisco for a helping hand.
The “Kelly Malone v. The ‘C’ Word” benefit concert takes place at The Independent on Tuesday, June 7th (8pm, $15, $50 VIP), and it features five terrific local bands: Social Studies, Royal Baths, Carletta Sue Kay, The Art Museums, and The Sandwitches.
Were this just a regular concert, this set of bands would be well worth your time and money anyway, but knowing that it’s for a great cause makes it all the better. Our best wishes go out to Kelly during this battle, and we’re really looking forward to this show.
