In order to raise awareness for breast cancer on campus, local band “Pink Lemons” has organized a live show with a full lineup.
On Friday, the Clyde A. Lynch Memorial Hall will host Lebanon Valley College’s first ever Breast Cancer Awareness show, thanks to the efforts of one of LVC’s campus bands.
When Pink Lemons posed the idea of playing a show, they weren’t sure what to dedicate the gig to. Pink Lemons had been looking for a reason to promote a show in October; they wanted something more appealing than celebrating Halloween. They found it – breast cancer awareness.
Steve Mazur, the band’s frontman and junior music major, has been directly affected by the disease. Mazur’s mother is a breast cancer survivor, and he keeps her in mind with regards to awareness.
“That’s [Mazur’s mom and the show] just a coincidence, though!” Mazur said.
While looking for local talent to represent the cause, Pink Lemons reached out to alumni Indiana Bolger, Tyler Kollinok and Dean Howey to bring their acoustic stylings to project. To round out the balance of bands, Dipped will also play a set.
“Be there because it’ll be fun,” Matt Frey, a junior music major and percussionist for Pink Lemons, said.
One can come support Breast Cancer Awareness at the “Get Pink’d!” concert in the Clyde A. Lynch Memorial Hall on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m.
