Charity Jam: Just for Jax
http://rock-it-room.com/blog/2011/11/03/charity-jam-just-for-jax/

Imagine your son or daughter is diagnosed with a rare disease from birth. Your doctor tells you a liver transplant is needed, but it’s expensive. This is a true story for Lily Beth Soriano and her 2-year-old son Jaxson, who has Biliary Artesia–a congenital disease that affects the liver and gallbladder.

This Friday, November 4, Rockit Room is hosting a Charity Jam to help the Sorianos raise money for a liver transplant. The event will feature local bands Native Elements and Rendezvous, and DJ E-Train.

The $10 cover at the door will be donated to Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA), in honor of Jaxson. His personal page on COTA’s Web site chronicles his journey battling Biliary Artesia.

In total, his liver transplant will cost around $1 million to $2 million dollars. Those who cannot attend the event can still donate to Jax at http://www.cotaforjaxsons.com/.
