Benefit Concert Set to Help Howell Family

This holiday season a concert is being held to help a Howell family as their youngest member wages a courageous battle against cancer.

The concert, being called “Rock Out For Gwennie,” is being held to help the family of a 20-month-old girl who was recently diagnosed with stage three neuroblastoma. Since her diagnosis she has received a wide variety of treatments including chemotherapy, stem cell transplants, various operations and more.

As part of her treatment the young girl moves between Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

The concert is set to be held on Saturday at The Saint in Asbury Park from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. with performances including Ardvark Smile, Monterey, Lost in Society and headlined by The New Royalty.

One of the people putting the event together is fellow Howell resident Moriah Six who said she is looking forward to helping the family. “All ticket proceeds from this concert event will go directly to the Marra family,” she said. “As Gwendelyn fights the cancer she is continuously supported by her family and friends.
