SATURDAY JAN 30-SPREAD THE LOVE
A benefit for a charity which helps support women in their fight against cervical cancer! We’ll be partying for a good cause during the last week of cervical cancer awareness month. It’s an all-day event with local bands, artists, and vendors. Things will get cranking around noon, and we will party until 6. Admission is free but we will be collecting donations for Spread The Love Charity, a 501(c)(3) created by the friends of Stephanie Little, a Tallahassee Rollergirl who was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer. Stephanie was recently moved to hospice care. Donations received will go to benefit Stephanie and her family (and others like her) to offset day to day costs, and to help promote awareness of the importance of early detection through screening for cervical cancer.
