20 Artists Sing for a Cause To Support Stefanie LaRue and Her Fight to Live

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Thirty-two year old breast cancer survivor Stefanie LaRue, known nationally as the "Breast Cancer Warrior" for her activism with young women diagnosed with breast cancer, is being honored at a benefit concert on Saturday, February 9, 2008 at the Skirball Cultural Center, located at 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA. The event, entitled "Music of the Light," (musicofthelight.net) will showcase artists who are using music as their vehicle to make a difference in the world and are making music that at its core is oriented towards the "good and service" of all.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 323.251.4551 or online at musicofthelight.net. Ticket prices range from $25 - $250, and all proceeds benefit the Stefanie LaRue Advocacy Coalition.

Music of the Light, which centers on life, love, light and healing, begins at 7:00 p.m. and ends at 9:00 p.m. The show will be hosted by Gina Black and will feature 20 independent artist's music, as well as their own personal ideas about "good and service," what causes or charities they are involved in, or how they personally add to the "good" of this world through their music.
