ROCK THIS 
Thanks
to everyone who made ROCK THE CURE
'09 a great success!
Despite
a tough time in the world of
fund raising, we were able to donate
$12,000 to the Susan G. Komen Twin
Cities Race For The Cure! That
matched our donation from the
previous year, so we were delighted
to be able to give that much. Thanks
to Michael Loonan for the Friday
night sing along, and to Concentual
and the Tim Sigler Band for bringing
in the crowds on Saturday night.
Evening highlights included an
exciting bidding war over the Blue
Door Pub/Concentual dinner for 30,
and the live auction for a private
performance from Tim Sigler. We
appreciate the generosity of all of
our sponsors and attendees!
MN Thunder Breast Cancer Awareness
Night
On Sept 20th
2009, we celebrated our 2nd
Annual Breast Cancer Awareness game
with the MN Thunder. The team played
in pink jerseys, and the crowd was
filled with fans wearing pink
Thunder tees and jerseys from last
year's auction. Thanks to the
Thunder staff for their support and
enthusiasm!
Rock The
Cure - May 4-5, 2007
Blue
Jeanne Inc.'s 2007 marquee event featured
Southern California recording artist Tina Schlieske, her all-start

Our
ROCK THE CURE weekend started on Friday, May 4th
in the Shamrock Room at O'Gara's with an intimate, candlelit
evening of acoustic classic rock and country, featuring Tim
Sigler of Lucky Town and the Tim Sigler Band ,
brought to you by Willie's American Guitars (www.williesguitars.com).
For a $10 donation, attendees could request a song for Tim to play; for
$50, they could get up and sing one with him!
Saturday, May 5th kicked off with students from
the St. Paul School of Rock opening for Tina, with an hour-long set of covers -- everything
from AC/DC and Guns 'N Roses to Tom Petty and Neil Young.
Rock The
Cure - May 6, 2006
The fourth annual Rock The Cure event was held
on Saturday, May 6th at O'Gara's Garage in St. Paul. Doors opened
at 7pm, tickets were $10 in advance, $12 at the door. 100% of the
night's cover charge will be donated to Blue Jeanne Inc., to be
distributed to Twin Cities breast cancer charities.
Music began at 8pm with Nathan Anderson, a local
favorite playing both original music and well-known covers. Lucky
Town hit the stage around 9:30 for two sets of Bruce Springsteen's
hits Twin Cities, with local RnB legend Mick Sterling join Lucky
Town for a handful of the Boss' classics, giving them a soulful
twist you just had to catch.
Raffle tickets were be sold for $2 up to the drawing.

like Adam Levy, GB Leighton, Tina Schlieske, Tim Mahoney, Nathan
Anderson, Mick Sterling and Tim Sigler.

United States on Sun Country Airlines..
1st Prize: An autographed guitar from Willie's American Guitars...check
back to see who's going to sign it this year...
The Live Auction was again a highlight of the
Rock The Cure night. For the second year in a row, Tim Sigler generously
donated a two-hour acoustic performance (to be scheduled on a Saturday
or Sunday afternoon) at your own private party.
Tim has made a name for himself locally with his tributes to Bruce
Springsteen, but if you've ever caught one of his solo acoustic
shows, you know there's so much more to him. From Johnny Cash to
Tom Petty, Bon Jovi to Neil Diamond, he can play just about anything.
Proceeds from the auction were donated to Rock The Cure. Thanks
so much, Tim!
