Viewfinder: The Acton Concert to Fight Cancer
Cancer benefit at Nara Park raises $3,000 for the Acton Relay for Life.
Mariah Chang, Senior at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School killed two birds with one stone on Saturday, April 30th. She shined the spotlight on some local artists, providing them with a venue, a cause and an audience to hear their music along with promoting cancer awareness.
As part of the Acton’s Relay for Life program, Chang organized a “concert to fight cancer.” One hour’s worth of entertainment brought in $3,000 dollars of donations.
Local band No Soap Radio performed: Steven Robertson, Eugene Mundowa, Devon Murphy, Chris LoPiccolo, Bill Grady and Devon DiPaolo.

Local music artists Connor Fischelis performed, along with the local dance group “Dance 2 Save.”
“I’ve watched multiple people in my life struggle with cancer – some of them survived and some of them didn’t,” said Chang. “I’ve seen just how tough it is and I know that raising $3,000 is going to make a really big difference.”
