Dance Event to Benefit Abramson Cancer Center

Join us for River North Dance Chicago's world premiere of EVA on Thursday, April 4, 2013, 7:30 to 10:00 pm sponsored in part by Penn's Abramson Cancer Center, and presented by Dance Affiliates and the Annenberg Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

EVA is a dance celebration commission dedicated to the life and music of American legendary vocalist and instrumentalist, Eva Cassidy. Battling melanoma that took her life at 33, she told her mother, "All I want to do when I get well is sing and travel around with my music."  Her album Songbird received triple platinum status in the United Kingdom.

There will also be FREE skin cancer screenings on site at the event by Dr. Karolyn Wanat from Penn Medicine's Department of Dermatology.
