Southbury Musicians to Play Relay for Life Benefit Saturday

Two Southbury musicians, along with eight other local bands, will converge upon a local restaurant on Saturday to rally for Relay.

Southbury musicians Michel Rae Driscoll and Jeff Duggan, along with eight local bands, Irish dancers and face painters, will rally together on Saturday, May 30 to benefit the combined Bethel/Danbury/Brookfield/Redding Relay for Life. A ukulele with carrying case, gift cards from local businesses, gift baskets and more will be raffled off to benefit Wendy’s Warriors Relay for Life team.

Wendy Mitchell, a 45-year-old mother of three, was recently diagnosed with Metaplastic Carcinoma, a very rare and aggressive type of cancer that only occurs in one percent of women compared to the other types which occurs in eighty percent.

Wendy’s Warriors team is taking action so that nobody has to suffer from this horrible disease. To donate to Wendy’s Warriors Relay for Life team page, please click here.
