Bella Vista Rocks for a Cure Event
 Andi Benstead presents concert proceeds to Sacramento Valley Affiliate
Bella Vista High School senior Andi Benstead initially planned "Bella Vista Rocks for a Cure" as her senior project, hoping to raise some money for the Sacramento Valley Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. What she ended up with was an event boasting 8 local bands and a prize drawing that raised a little over $2,700.00.
On May 21st, 2005, people from all over the community gathered at the Bella Vista High School Football Stadium to rock out at this one-time only event benefiting the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Not only did the attendees get into the spirit of donating, but the bands playing at the event donated their time as well as the proceeds from the sales of their CDs and merchandise.
Thank you to Andi, the bands, and all the attendees for your support of the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

About Komen:
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
