The following report is courtesy of PRWeb.com:

The name Tawn Mastrey is synonymous with the world of hard rock and heavy metal. The '70s, '80s and '90s rock scene would not be what it was and is today without this wonderful voice that uplifted so many major acts. Tawn is probably best known for her work at KNAC 105.5 in Los Angeles and her later work Scott Shannon's Pirate Radio, and with The Westwood One Radio Network and Sirius Satellite's Hair Nation channel.

It was announced recently that Tawn had to quit her job as the host on Hair Nation due to health reasons. Tawn, like so many others in today's world is suffering from Hepatitis C and is in dire need of a liver transplant. Further complicating this need is the fact that Tawn has no health insurance.

A major drive is now underway to get Tawn proper medical care and hopefully a transplant. This is going to cost money. Money that is needed not only for her care now, but for the actual transplant operation and follow up care.

Tawn was and always has been a spark of light and hope for the Rock world, and now she is in need of YOUR HELP!

There is now a Tawn Mastrey Transplant Fund where you can donate to the cause of helping save Tawn's life. Please find it in your heart to contribute whatever you can by visiting www.tawnmastreybenefit.com.

Your donation will go into the fund to help Tawn receive the best care and get the treatment she so desperately needs.

Events are being planned around the United States to bring some of the biggest names in the Hard Rock genre to perform benefit concerts to also help this fund. As well as a special "Tribute for Tawn" concert in the Los Angeles area with some of the best Tribute bands around with proceeds going to the Tawn Mastrey Transplant Fund. The first of these shows is set for July 28th at Martini Blues in Huntington Beach, Ca. (Ticket info call 714-840-2129)

Performing at this show will be local Tribute greats METAL KNIGHTS, MASTERS OF REALITY, LIGHTS OUT and RUDE AWAKENING. At the end of the evening after the Metal Knights performance there will be an all star jam with members of DIO, GREAT WHITE and other hard rock favorites in attendance.

Tawn, her family, friends and the rock community have enlisted the help of Donate Life America to raise awareness about the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation.

Donate life America representatives will be on hand at as many of these events as possible, but are always available online, via email and websites to answer any questions and to assist you in signing up to become an organ and tissue donor in your area.

To find out how to become and organ donor in your area, and to help save lives like that of Tawn Mastrey, and the other close to 100,000 currently awaiting a transplant in the United States, please visit www.donatelife.net

Former Rock Radio personality Robbie "Razor" Robfogel, a liver transplant recipient himself and friend of Tawn will be organizing the "Tribute for Tawn" shows, with his band Metal Knights performing. KNAC.com air personality Diana Deville will host the evening's event. Robfogel is also a spokesperson for Donate Life Rocks and has performed radio public service announcements for the organization.
