On July 18th, 2009, trance music lovers will unite under one roof to party with a purpose as DJs and music lovers from all over the world will join the fight against cancer for one night of extraordinary entertainment. The second annual Operation Give Life (OGL) is a cancer benefit concert hosted by Randy Boyer, who is headlining the event along with the up-and-coming duo, Tritonal, and Hartford/Florida’s hometown favorite, DJ Si-Dog. The show will be hosted in Hartford, CT at Room 960.
Money raised from OGL will go to support the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC). The PMC raises money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, through an annual bike-a-thon that crosses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 100% of the money raised through ticket sales and donations from OGL will go to support the PMC and more importantly, The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the leading centers for cancer research, treatment and patient care.
The first annual OGL raised nearly $2,000. This year, Boyer plans to raise the bar higher by inviting fans and friends worldwide to donate to the cause online @ http://www.OperationGiveLife.org. Why donate? Did you know that cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease? Every day over 1,500 people in the United States lose their battle. The lifetime risk of developing cancer is 1 in 2 for men, and 1 in 3 for women.
From The DJs
Boyer states, “Cancer is by far one of the most frightening diseases in the world. Knowing that I can make a difference with the help of my fans is what makes me pour my energy into this event to raise as much as I can to support cancer research. I feel like it is so easy to get wrapped up in our modern day, busy lifestyles and forget to be grateful for each day that we have until something unfortunate happens, which makes us become grounded. I try to count my blessings everyday and remain grateful for the success of my career and the love and support of my family, friends, and fans. I know that this fundraising event will help to better the lives of children and adults all over the world affected by cancer and I urge everyone to donate to the cause @ http://www.operationgivelife.org. I think we all have a responsibility to give back to the world and this is the best way that I can use my talents to do that, which makes me extremely proud and honored”.
Chad from Tritonal writes, "We jumped at the chance to be a part of this event, as both Dave and I know people who have been directly affected by cancer. We hope that people will respond to the call of this event, and donate some money in the name of it. We are going to put on an amazing show, and are already preparing for the event. Hope to see you guys out!"
