Here is as email thanking the volunteers and performers and contributors to the benefit for Severn from his cousin, Kathie Mack:

"Thank you, all performers and volunteers for Songs for Severn, for making this fundraising event a great success yesterday! The audience definitely got their money's worth, and Severn -- as everyone could see -- was particularly pleased and touched. Today I deposited $1440 in Severn's account, all raised by donations at the door ($1070) and from the "Severn Boutique" ($370). When I called Severn to tell him the money was there, he said he would get in touch right away with the folks who provide the compression shirts that he has been directed to buy. Thank you for attracting the audience that helped to make this possible. You are wonderful. May you live well and prosper! All best, Kathie Mack P.S. If I have forgotten any performers or volunteers, please forward this email to them with my apologies."

This is in addition to the generous contributions of you Mudcatters who sent paypal donations and checks!

amazing --

regards, chance
