Sixth Cancer Can’t Kill Love benefit concert continues to lift spirits, raises nearly $24,000
For the sixth time, the Cancer Can’t Kill Love Benefit Concert brought people from near and far together for the common goal of raising awareness and money to help fight the disease.
Held on Saturday, Oct. 13 at a new venue, the Gjøa Club, 850 62nd St., the full-day event featured live music, drinks, food, more than 50 raffle prizes, merch sales and — above all — between 400 and 500 friends, family and neighbors bonding.
Cancer Can’t Kill Love began in November, 2013, following the death of Managing/Digital Editor of The Home Reporter and Brooklyn Spectator Meaghan McGoldrick’s mother, Joanne, who succumbed to Acute Myeloid Leukemia just five years after McGoldrick’s father, John Patrick “Butch” McGoldrick, died of asbestos-triggered lung cancer brought on by his work at Ground Zero.
