A benefit concert to be held at Fairmount Temple February 9, 2014 for Ethan Kadish, a 13-year old Ohio native who was struck by lightening and suffered a traumatic brain injury.
A special musical evening is being planned by the Northeast Ohio community in support of Ethan Kadish, a young man in Cincinnati, who was severely injured by a lightning strike out of a blue sky while playing frisbee at summer camp in Indiana June 2013. An array of musical performances from talented Solon and Orange high school students will take place at Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple, 23737 Fairmount Boulevard, all in solidarity with and support of Ethan Kadish and his family. Doors open at 7pm. The concert will begin at 7:30pm.
The event is free to attend and donations are encouraged. All donations are tax deductible and will support HelpHOPELive, part of the Great Lakes Catastrophic Injury Fund, a non-profit organization that is helping Ethan's family.
Ethan is now 13, and his situation is still very serious. His brain is struggling to make new connections. He has a very long road ahead. He is fighting to regain the ability to walk and talk. Ethan’s family learned that his yearly medical expenses could top $1 million. To assist with the immense task of financing uninsured therapies, home modifications and other injury-related expenses, a fundraising campaign in Ethan's honor has been established with HelpHOPELive.
