Region – On Thursday, Oct. 4, 13 local teens from Upton and surrounding towns, along with several Mendon-Upton Regional School District (MURSD) faculty members, will take the stage to raise money for pediatric cancer research. The event, the sixth annual “Teens Rock Out Cancer,” will take place from 7-9 p.m. at Nipmuc Regional High School, 90 Pleasant St., Upton. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door.
The musicians are comprised of local teens ranging in age from 14-18, in addition to several MURSD faculty members and members of the local community.
Proceeds will benefit the Ty Louis Campbell Foundation. Campbell, affectionately known as SuperTy, defined strength and courage even when faced with life’s most difficult challenges. Local cancer survivor Carlie Gonzalez will perform in honor of her fight with Ewing’s Sarcoma. Carlie sang throughout her treatment, sharing her talent and giving a voice to children fighting cancer.
