ROCK THIS 
Thanks to everyone
who made ROCK THE CURE 2010 a great success!
Despite another challenging year 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 Molly Maher, Brain Leighton and the GB Leighton band. We
appreciate the generosity of all of our sponsors and attendees!

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,

exciting bidding war over the Blue Door Pub/Concentual

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!
