ADAMS, Mass. — Octopus Garden will perform a benefit concert of Beatles music for the AYJ Fund.

 

The fundraiser will be held on Saturday, Aug. 2, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Bounti-Fare. All proceeds support children with cancer.

 

Octopus Garden is a local band which includes Bob Balawender, Mark Parsons, Wayne Tremblay, Dan Hamilton, Jay Fruet and Jim Stankiewicz. 

 

The mission of the AYJ Fund is to bring smiles to kids with cancer, to keep them connected to friends and school through technology, and to support children's brain cancer research.

 

The charity was created in 2013 in memory of Anna Yan Ji Arabia, who died at age 16 after bravely fighting brain cancer for over 3 years.

 

Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased at AYJfund.org, by calling 413-652-1602 or at the door.
