New York, NY – Celebrity chef Maria Loi and disk jockey duo DJ SALTY (Lee Kalt and Xandra K) join Music Beats Cancer’s Red Carpet at their first annual Celebrating Survivors: A Benefit Concert on Thursday, June 8, 2023, at Terminal 5 in New York City, during National Cancer Survivors month.
The red carpet, an invitation-only event, will be hosted by NFL Hall-of-Famer Lawrence Taylor. Guests include sponsors and their guests, innovators working on cancer-fighting solutions, and the interested media.
Following the red carpet, the benefit concert will feature the Led Zeppelin cover band Get The Led Out as well as an auction and live appeal in support of biomedical start-ups developing innovative treatments for cancer.
“This novel idea of using music and passion to push forward and financially support new technologies and cancer solutions is amazing, and I’m proud to be a part of it,” said Loi.
DJ Lee Kalt echoes this, “This issue has personally affected our lives and our families; therefore, we felt it was important for us to contribute to this event.”
Music Beats Cancer’s mission is to increase the number of cancer-fighting technologies in the product-development pipeline so that more solutions make it to those in need. The nonprofit empowers people to support the advancement of new solutions and promising treatments for cancer. Doing so addresses the “Valley of Death,” the severe funding gap that commonly forces start-ups to abandon their work. Most of these promising start-ups will fail before they can prove their possibility, not because their ideas are bad but because they lack the critical funding to succeed. Music Beats Cancer wants to change this.
