An Evening to Benefit "The Brain Candy Project"
7 pm Thursday, August 21
Fine Line Music Café, Minneapolis


Minneapolis, MN - THE NEED IS REAL. Tonight, and every night, there are parents sleeping on hospital chairs and even floors, worried and hoping for the best for their children, who are fighting brain cancer and brain trauma. They have little time or energy to deal with the day-to-day things most families need (laundry, day care, pets, meals), let alone big picture activities like financial planning, nutrition, understanding cancer research or even hospital parking costs.


The Brain Candy Project (ww.braincandyproject.org ) is a non-profit organization that helps the parents of children who are critically ill with brain cancer or trauma by addressing their day-to-day needs of living in the hospital in the early days/weeks of their child's diagnosis. The organization's motto is "holding parents so parents can hold their children." Henry and Cameron Allen founded the Brain Candy Project last year. Cameron, 13, has a rare, stage 3 form of brain cancer; Henry is his father and also a cancer survivor.


Susan and Christine Anderson, local businesswomen & fundraisers, have put together a special evening to support the Brain Candy Project - and to have a lot of fun, with special appearances by Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, the band Kangaroo and several surprise guests plus a Celebrity-studded silent auction, including:


*2 VIP tickets to the American Idol Live Minneapolis Show & backstage passes for pre-show meet & greet
*Autographed Jack Johnson guitar (Jack Johnson and G Love)
*Autographed Brooks & Dunn guitar
*Autographed tool set from Tim Allen
*Autographed picture of Harrison Ford from Indiana Jones IV - The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
*Final Script to Frasier autographed by the entire cast
*Power Wheels F 150 from Fisher Price
*2001 Elio Grasso Borolo Runcot
*Autographed guitar from John Mellencamp
*Guthrie Theater & dinner package for two


...and so much more, from celebrities such as Mel Brooks, Jonas Brothers, Guster, Aimee Mann, Uma Thurman, Billy Crystal, Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Jewel, Colbie Calliat, Neil Finn, Cyndi Lauper, Ray Romano, Tony Hawk, Bob Newhart, Brandi Carlile, Pete Yorn, as well as local business such as Mall Of America, Twins baseball team, Saints, The Wild and many more!!


***YOU NEED NOT BE PRESENT TO BID. ONLINE BIDDING BEGINS 8/20!! A GROWING LIST OF AUCTION ITEMS (WITH PHOTOS) IS NOW AVAILABLE AT THE BRIDGING TWO WORLDS WEBSITE!! http://www.bridgingtwoworlds.net/braincandy.asp


If you are not able to attend this event, please consider making a generous donation online: http://braincandyproject.org/donate.html


Tickets, available at Ticketmaster, are $75 including light appetizers and a complementary beverage.
And a DOOR PRIZE: weekend stay for two at luxury downtown Minneapolis hotel.


The Andersons have helped other charities, but this extra special event is particularly close to their hearts: Henry and Cameron Allen are family friends whom Susan and Christine have watched as they began their difficult journey two years ago. Like the Andersons and the Allens, this event is classy, but easy-going and casual. As Christine describes it, "a black tie event disguised in a pair of jeans and nice top."


Susan and Christine are asking for your help to make this event successful for Cameron's dream, Henry's vision, and all the families who will be served by The Brain Candy Project.

no not wonder woman! No offence but WW is not that cool. I would rather see him take on captian america do something like a World war 2 captian america timepeice. Joss has had his tough chick character in buffy, lets give him something new.... Anyway I never want to see an invisible jet on the big screen.

He worked on wonder women. They Fired him they did not like his take on the property.

So glad this never happened. Everything he touches turns into something about him and his "audience".

Sorry. Never have been a fan and never will. He has a right to make anything he wants, but the majority of us don't really care about musicals and whatnot.

That might have been cool. Not as cool as his take on WOndy, though.

I can't imagine a Batman now that ISN'T Nolan's...but like he said, I'd love to see it in comic form.

Dixon- It's ok, you don't have to be a Browncoat. Life is far less interesting if you aren't, but hey, whatever... ;)

Whedon is my jesus, even if he can't get a comic out on time to save his life.

I love Begins, but not to the point where I wouldn't have given it up for a Joss Batman. However, now that we've gotten The Dark Knight, I wouldn't give it up for the world, even though Joss is pretty much my favorite creative person ever.
