Thanks to everyone who made Rock The Cure 2011 such a great
success!
We
had a great time, dancing the weekend away! Through ticket, merchandise,
and silent auction sales, we were able to donate $11,000 to our charities.
Endless thanks to GB Leighton, Molly Maher and her Disbelievers, and Concentual, and to all of our fans who support us year after
year. Also, thanks to our generous sponsors, who make it possible for us to
cover our event costs so that all donations go directly to our charities: BCSI Group, Blue Door Pub, Capitol
Beverage, Edlund Dental, Central Pediatrics, St Paul Corner Drug, Bailey Nurseries, Caron Chiropractic, O'Gara's Bar and Grille, and Willie's American Guitars. Help
support the cause by supporting our sponsors!

About ROCK THE CURE
For 10 years,
Rock The Cure events raised money to help fight breast cancer in
Minnesota. We supported such charities as the Twin Cities Race For The Cure,
Open Arms MN, and the Sage Program MN. Last year, we added the cause
represented by the teal ribbon, hoping to bring awareness and donations to
women fighting ovarian cancer. Through the amazing efforts of the Minnesota
Ovarian Cancer Alliance (MOCA), we hope to reach out to more women and their
families this year, celebrating the strength and hope they share every day.
Because
our wonderful sponsors cover our event costs, 100% of the money we raise at
Rock The Cure events will be donated, and it will stay in Minnesota.
We are all volunteers, each of us driven by a person story, or just simply a
generous heart.
Thank you to
our sponsors, my committee, and to the women we honor with our work.
Angie Hanzel-Palomo
President,
Blue Jeanne Inc
