Grammy award winner Jason Crabb will be in Richmond County on Thursday, Nov. 2 for a benefit concert supporting the Cancer Care Treasure Shop and American Cancer Society (“Relay For Life”). The winner of 21 Dove Awards (gospel music awards) will be featured and 2nd Chance Ministries from Cheraw, South Carolina will open the concert. The benefit will be held at Richmond Community College Cole Auditorium in Hamlet and will start at 6p.m.
Crabb’s electrifying stage presence, powerhouse vocals and magnetic personality have endeared him to millions across the world – through extensive personal appearances, media coverage, and social media including over 20 million views on YouTube.
Since his first solo release in 2009, Jason Crabb has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious stages such as Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry, the Brooklyn Tabernacle and Billy Graham’s final crusade in NYC. He has also shared the stage with artists such as Gloria Gaynor, Kari Jobe, Vince Gill, Mary Mary’s Erica Campbell, Donnie McClurkin, Wynonna, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Michael W. Smith, Jamie Grace, Sandi Patty, the Oak Ridge Boys and more.
The benefit concert is just weeks before Crabb releases his new album “Good Morning Mercy” on Nov. 17.
The Cancer Care Treasure Shop is located in the Pineridge Shopping Center in Rockingham with Ollie’s, Farmer’s Home Furniture and Dunham’s Sports. The Treasure Shop has been open in Rockingham for over 5 years and has made multiple donations to the American Cancer Society (ACS) from store proceeds and funds raised in 3 years of their annual “Walk For Hope” Breast Cancer Awareness Walk, held each October.
Treasure Shop owner Rodney Gandy has a personal connection to cancer with his mother being diagnosed twice. “We want to raise fund not to benefit just one person, but to help with cancer research so that we can find a cure to all types of cancer,” Gandy said about the support of ACS.
In addition to research funding, the ACS assist people all over the country with expense related to cancer treatments.
2nd Chance Ministries is no stranger to Richmond County and is made up of Ricky Malloy, Brandon Gainey and Brain Alvey.
“This concert will feature Crabb and his full band in a space that has great acoustics and comfortable seating,” Gandy added. “We wanted a location that those that didn’t feel comfortable going to a church could come and have in a central location for all in our area.”
There will be photos opportunities in the lobby of the Cole to celebrate those that are facing cancer and to remember those that are no longer with us. There will also be doorprizes drawn throughout the event.
The show is reserved seating, so you pick a specific seat when you purchase your tickets. Groups of 10 or more received a discount.
Tickets are $20-$25 each and are available before the day of the concert ONLY at the Cancer Care Treasure Shop at 1788 E. Broad Ave, Rockingham. After 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2, tickets will be available at the Cole Auditorium.
