The SoutheastHEALTH Foundation will present “Sounds of the Season,” an entertaining Christmas spectacular featuring outstanding musical and vocal talent on Sunday, Dec. 3, at 2 p.m. at Cape First Church, 254 South Silver Springs Road. Celebrity emcees are Crystal Britt and Jim Burns, KFVS12 Breakfast Show anchors.

Doors open at 1:30 p.m. with casual, pre-concert entertainment.

The 22nd annual benefit concert supports cancer patients in need through the Southeast Cancer Care Fund. Serving as Honorary Chairperson for this year’s event is Sikeston businessman and cancer survivor Charles “Ed” Carr. 

“Sounds of the Season” Director, well-known musician Jerry Ford, says over the past two decades, the event has become a tradition for many families. Performers this year include the Jerry Ford Orchestra with Tina Trickey, Casey Janet Mills, Jennifer Brothers, Clayton Hahs, Kristen Schweain and the Scott City Honor Choir.

“All patients want medical professionals who are top notch in his or her fields of treatment,” Carr says. “However, when it comes to the journey of cancer, patients need that and more. The Southeast Cancer Center is ‘that and more,’ and you can help support their efforts by attending this wonderful concert.”

Tickets are $10 each and are available online at Sehealth.org/Sounds, at the SoutheastHEALTH Foundation, 1849 Broadway or at the door.

Those who donate $100 or more by Nov. 27 will receive free tickets and recognition in the concert program.

All money raised will be used to help provide the many special needs of those battling cancer.
