Proceeds will go to Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, according to the Martin's Downtown Web site Roanoke Valley Boys & Girls Club, according to show organizer Jeff Maiden.

I wish someone would have contacted me personally about this. I live in Charlotte,NC. and I would have liked to have attended....

Hi!
I think it is wonderful doing a benefit concert in the name of my brother Paul, especially since any proceeds from this concert will go to the Roanoke Valley Boy's & Girl's Club. My brother was a kind soul who loved children and did lots for kids however it would have been nice for the show's organizer, Jeff Maiden, to have informed Paul's family about this event. I hope that your show is a big success for the "Children" of the Roanoke Valley and that they know who he really was and that his kindness and love will live on in these kids hearts and souls!
Sincerly and with kindness from my family and his little sister,
Faith "Corne" Avelis
