with Swamp Thing, Airs and Disgraces, Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple
Jammin for Jethro is the brain Child of Black Frog Event and Artist Management from Auckland who started the events in 2010 after finding out about Support for Jethro Morrow (aka Jethro Gantley) online. Jethro is an Auckland boy who has a medical condition so rare he is the only child in NZ with it - aHUS or Atypical Hemolitic Uremic Syndrome. aHUS causes all the main organs to fail and this is what Jethro went through when he was diagnosed at only 8 months old - he was put on life support.
There is no cure for aHUS and the only medication for this is Solaris which is also know as the worlds most expensive drug with each treatment costs $24,000 which ads up to $500,000 A YEAR! And what makes it worse is that Jethro has been denied funding by Pharmac numerous times. Jethro doesn't need the medication YET as he is having weekly plasma transfusions but there could come a day when Jethro will need this life saving drug and his family are faced with the seemingly impossible task of finding $500,000 a year to save his life.
2014 brings the 2nd lot of annual events to Tauranga (there is another one on Halloween), 3rd annual events to Palmerston North, 4th Annual Year in Auckland and two new cities are starting this year with Wellington and Rotorua.
After last years success with The Jammin for Jethro shows in Tauranga. We have decided to branch out and do one at Browny's cafe and bar between Tauranga and Katikati.
This Family Friendly event with food and drinks available through the Cafe/Diner.
Brought to you by Black Frog Event and Artist Management and Bearded Productions and the good people at Brownys Cafe.
It's $10 on the door, but feel free to pay more! This is a charity gig after all so if you offer $100 to get in the door we will gladly take your money faster than IRD!
