June 21, 2009, 15 years ago
Organizers of Rocklahoma, taking place July 9th - 12th in Pryor, Oklahoma, have issued the following update:
"Ryan Cunningham is an eight-year-old little bundle of fun from Dunedin, Florida. Ryan is a huge fan of '80's music... he can't stand hearing any other. He is really quite the rocker! Ryan was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a horrible disease that attacks the lungs, preventing them from clearing out mucus and disturbs the digestive track. Ryan is forced to take more than 30 pills a day and is often forced to drinks protein shakes. Ryan has frequent stays at the hospital and has to go through daily respiratory therapy. Ryan dreams of attending Rocklahoma and meeting all his favorite rock heroes.
Catch the Fever Music Festivals, Bigg Time Entertainment, Inc., Just Having Fun Productions, GREAT WHITE, NELSON, KIX and KEEL are going to make this happen.
Bigg Time Entertainment, Inc. is proud to be coordinating this venture.
Just Having Fun Productions, Great White & Nelson is graciously providing the airlines tickets for Ryan and his parents Dave & Cathy.
Catch the Fever Music Festivals is kindly providing the hotel accommodations and all access passes. Keel spoke with their endorsers Dean Guitars and convinced them to donate for a guitar for auctioning.
We are auctioning a guitar signed by Great White, Nelson and Keel as well as others performing at Rocklahoma to raise money for miscellaneous expenses of Cunningham's journey to Rocklahoma as well as Cystic Fibrosis Foundation www.cff.org. The auction is available for biddings at this location. The guitar was generously donated by Dean Guitars as per Keel's request.
