 Coheed and Cambria, a world renowned
rock band, held a benefit
concert to raise both funds and awareness
for Alzheimer's disease on October
19th at NYC's Highline Ballroom.
Singer and guitarist Claudio Sanchez lost
his aunt,Antonia Cristiano, toAlzheimer's
disease last year, and both the concert
and their latest album, No World for
Tomorrow, are dedicated to her memory.
“This benefit is sort of my way of saying
goodbye,” said Sanchez. “My Aunt Toni
lived in Manhattan and loved
Manhattan.This disease ravaged her and
our family. It's hard for me to talk about,
but if we can help fight this disease and
encourage others to help fight it, then
her loss wasn't totally in vain.”
“It's so encouraging to know that a generation
of young people are getting
involved in the fight against
Alzheimer's,” said Lou-Ellen Barkan,
NYC Chapter President and CEO.
“Our sincere thanks go out to Coheed
and Cambria for generously sharing
their talent and supporting programs
and services provided by the Alzheimer's
Association, New York City Chapter.”
More than 700 tickets were sold,with all
net proceeds going directly to the
Chapter. The event received notable
coverage and was featured on Cable network's
Fuse TV with interviews of the
band and Chapter staff.
