Despite
a tough time in the world of
fund raising, we were able to donate
$12,000 to the Susan G. Komen Twin
Cities Race For The Cure! That
matched our donation from the
previous year, so we were delighted
to be able to give that much.
Thanks
to Michael Loonan for the Friday
night sing along, and to Concentual
and the Tim Sigler Band for bringing
in the crowds on Saturday night.
Evening highlights included an
exciting bidding war over the
Blue
Door Pub/Concentual dinner for 30,
and the live auction for a private
performance from Tim Sigler. We
appreciate the generosity of all of
our sponsors and attendees!

in pink jerseys, and the crowd was
filled with fans wearing pink
Thunder tees and jerseys from last
year's auction. Thanks to the
Thunder staff for their support and
enthusiasm!

The Live Auction was again a highlight of the
Rock The Cure night. For the second year in a row, Tim Sigler generously
donated a two-hour acoustic performance (to be scheduled on a Saturday
or Sunday afternoon) at your own private party.
Tim has made a name for himself locally with his tributes to Bruce
Springsteen, but if you've ever caught one of his solo acoustic
shows, you know there's so much more to him. From Johnny Cash to
Tom Petty, Bon Jovi to Neil Diamond, he can play just about anything.
Proceeds from the auction were donated to Rock The Cure. Thanks
so much, Tim!
